Former F1 tycoon Bernie Ecclestone, 95, arrested for 'illegally carrying shotgun through airport' after landing in Portugal on private jet | LBC

Former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone, 95, was arrested after Portuguese reports said he was “illegally carrying a shotgun through an airport.” He was detained after landing at Tires Aerodrome in Cascais, near Lisbon, according to the Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manhã. The arrest is the second time in four years Ecclestone has faced allegations involving a gun at an airport. In 2022, he was detained in Brazil after a firearm was found as he prepared to board a private jet for Switzerland. The latest report frames the incident as another firearms-related stop during travel by private aircraft.
