Argentine Player Detained After Shouting 'Bomb' on Team Flight

The case shows how Argentina treats false bomb alerts as crimes with steep penalties.

Overview

  • Emiliano Endrizzi, who shouted “bomb” during boarding Saturday, was detained on the plane as officers began a full security sweep.
  • The airport activated its emergency plan at Jujuy’s Horacio Guzmán, leading to an hour-long inspection and delays that held up the team’s trip to Buenos Aires.
  • Authorities found no explosives and later restored normal operations after clearing the aircraft and terminal.
  • Journalist Diego Poggi filmed agents removing the defender in handcuffs for transfer to a police station.
  • Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy said its legal team intervened, and outlet Olé reports the club is weighing a for-cause contract termination as prosecutors study charges under Article 211 on public intimidation with possible anti-terror aggravations.
