Gimnasia de Jujuy's Endrizzi freed after shouting ‘bomb’ on flight | OneFootball

Following the hearing held this Monday, the footballer was charged with public intimidation.

The Gimnasia de Jujuy midfielder was released after the court hearing, although he remains charged with public intimidation and endangering the safety of means of transport. He also apologized and said he was remorseful.

Emiliano Endrizzi, a midfielder for Gimnasia de Jujuy, was released in the last few hours after being detained over the “joke” in which he claimed he “had a bomb” on the plane that was supposed to take off from Jujuy bound for Buenos Aires.

After the hearing held this Monday, the court charged him with public intimidation, in conjunction with endangering the safety of means of transport and communication. Although he regained his freedom, he will remain linked to the case.

As part of the measures imposed, Endrizzi must report every seven days to the Jujuy Federal Police, inform authorities of any change of address, and may not leave the country without judicial authorization.

The incident occurred on Saturday afternoon, when the Jujuy Wolf midfielder made an “unfortunate comment,” according to his lawyer, by stating that there was a bomb on the plane scheduled to depart at 1:25 p.m. from Governor Horacio Guzmán International Airport bound for Buenos Aires.

The situation immediately activated the airport security protocol and caused delays and cancellations. As a result, the airline operating the flight is considering, together with the authorities of Jujuy, taking the appropriate legal action against those responsible for the incident.
