Overview
- The Ministerio de Transporte de la Provincia de Buenos Aires registered a preventive inhabilitación against Mauro Icardi on Monday, September 21, 2026, after officials reviewed a social-media video showing risky passenger behavior while he drove.
- Authorities found Icardi’s Argentine driving license had been expired since May 2019, a fact that triggered application of Provincial Law No. 13.927 when the video revealed conduct the ministry called dangerous and negligent.
- The Subsecretaría de Política y Seguridad Vial says the measure bars Icardi from driving in the province while it stands and does not automatically lift if he files an appeal.
- To obtain a new license the ministry requires Icardi to apply in the jurisdiction of his domicile in Buenos Aires and to pass a prior psychophysical or psychological evaluation before reissuance.
- Provincial officials framed the decision as a road‑safety response that enforces existing processes for expired or unvalidated foreign licenses and uses the inhabilitación preventiva to block driving until fitness and administrative regularity are confirmed.
