MOSCOW, June 23 (RIA Novosti) – Former US intelligence contractor Edward Snowden, wanted by the United States for revealing a highly classified surveillance program that allegedly monitored phone and electronic conversations of millions of Americans, has arrived in Moscow and has been examined by an Ecuadorian Embassy doctor, the Ecuadorian newspaper Hoy reported Sunday.

Snowden, 30, left Hong Kong on Sunday, a day after the United States formally requested his extradition. A passenger who was on an Aeroflot flight that Snowden is believed to have taken to Moscow told RIA Novosti that Snowden had gotten into a car with diplomatic plates on the tarmac at Sheremetyevo Airport.

However, media reports cited airport officials as saying that Snowden would not be allowed to leave the premises because he did not have a Russian visa and would therefore only be able to fly to a third destination.
