An unusual episode has shocked Argentine football, with Gimnasia de Jujuy defender Emiliano Indrezzi being arrested and facing serious legal and disciplinary consequences after a "joke" that caused a major security alert at the airport.

The incident occurred at Jujuy Airport in Argentina, when the player, before taking off on a flight to Buenos Aires, shouted "bomb" on board the plane. This action immediately activated anti-terrorist protocols, causing panic and urgent intervention by the authorities.

According to local media, after the alert, the plane was immediately evacuated and a special bomb disposal team thoroughly checked the aircraft. After verification, it was determined that the alarm was false and there was no real danger.

Shortly thereafter, police arrested the footballer on the runway, handcuffing him and escorting him for questioning on charges of false alarm and obstruction of air traffic, offenses that can carry severe penalties.

Gimnasia de Jujuy reacted strongly, calling the player's behavior "unacceptable and damaging to the club's image." In an official statement, the board confirmed that they have initiated procedures to terminate the defender's contract for "serious disciplinary behavior."

The Argentine press has described this event as "the most unforgivable joke in the history of football", while the 28-year-old now faces legal consequences that could cost him not only his freedom, but also his sports career. /GazetaExpress/
