Bernie Ecclestone, the former Formula 1 supremo, was arrested in Brazil late on Wednesday for illegally carrying a gun while boarding a private plane to Switzerland, local police said on Thursday.

The Brazilian police found an undocumented LW Seecamp .32 gun in Ecclestone’s luggage during an X-ray screening, police said in a statement, adding that he was then arrested and taken to a facility at Viracopos airport in Campinas.

Ecclestone acknowledged owning the gun, but said he was unaware it was in his luggage at the time, police said. The Briton paid bail and was freed to travel to Switzerland.


Ecclestone, 91, is married to Brazilian-born Fabiana Ecclestone, an FIA vice-president and member of the World Motor Sport Council.

They attended several events in the South American country in May, including a local Stock Car race in the countryside near Sao Paulo and a meeting with triple world champion Nelson Piquet in Brasilia. (Reporting by Eduardo Simoes and Gabriel Araujo)

Bernie trying to be all "gangsta."

 

Something tells me he'll make bail.

Joke. He already made bail and took off to Switzerland.

 

Little Caesar.

 

Honey Badger don't give a ****

For carrying a gun illegally !?!

What do they want him to do ? Get mugged ??

 

of course not. they want him to pay bribes to the local crimelords who then pay off the cops, like a normal person.

 

1. he's 91 years old, he's allowed to have one

2. it's way less conspicuous than jeremy clarkson's.

 

He's been mugged before in London...I don't blame him for carrying in Brazil, legal or not!

1. I know, but he’d really improve chances of seeing 92 if he didn’t.
2. Jezza’s is bigger, no doubt.

By the way, when I first read your post I thought you were replying to my #13.

 

Let’s face it , Bernie is 92 and multi billionaire . He doesn’t give a **** . How bad can it get for a 92 year old , not much they can do to him .
Very unlikely he does jail time , fines means **** to him . Nice position to be in

 

$500 - meh, a teeny bit higher than average, compared to an M&P Shield.

 

He looks like Andy Warhol 'eh?

 

Maybe if Andy had gotten addicted to the French Fry sandwiches while he was in Pittsburgh.

 

In a place like Brazil you never know. Some police commissar could get a burr up his rectum and decide that Bernie needed “further investigation”.

Does anybody know how it turned out?
