Shocking! Icardi receives a ban that will last until he turns 105!
Mauro Icardi has found himself at the center of a major controversy in Argentina, with the footballer facing an extraordinary restriction that could remain in place until he turns 105.
Details: According to Argentina's Buenos Aires Province Ministry of Transport, the 33-year-old striker has been provisionally banned from driving following the publication of a video featuring his partner, Eugenia China Suárez. Reports indicate that the restriction is registered until 2099, when Icardi will be 105 years old.
The footage, which appeared on social media, showed Suárez removing her seatbelt and leaning much of her body out of the window of a moving car while Icardi was behind the wheel. The video attracted the attention of local authorities, who launched an investigation into the incident.
During their investigation, officials discovered that Icardi's Argentine driving licence had expired. The authorities subsequently imposed a preventive driving ban. However, the measure does not necessarily mean that the striker will have to wait until 2099 to drive again. He can apply for a new licence after undergoing the required assessment of his fitness to drive.
Icardi has already challenged the decision, claiming that he holds a valid Italian driving licence that does not expire until 2029. The footballer also criticised the authorities over their handling of the situation.
It's worth noting that Icardi is currently a free agent following his departure from Galatasaray, where he spent four seasons. The Argentine striker previously represented Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain.
