Bieber accused of new pap attack, this time in Argentina
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 17 November 2014
That Justin Bieber’s been so quiet of late, hasn’t he? We’ve barely heard a peep out of him, save for the occasional mention that he’s been making some music with Cody Simpson. It’s been lovely. But his (still pretty recent) past as something of a hell raiser is never far away. And so, once again, he is in trouble for allegedly attacking a photographer a year ago.
In his quest to pick up a pap attack charge in every country in the world, this one comes from Argentina. According to Argentine news agency Telam, a judge in the country, Facundo Cubas, last week asked Interpol to track down the singer and one of his guards, over accusations that they assaulted a photographer, Diego Facundo Weigle, and another unnamed cameraman, and then took their cameras and mobile phones at a club called Ink in Bueno Aires.
Bieber and the bodyguard are required to respond to the accusations within 60 days, or Judge Cubas may order their arrest.
The alleged incident occurred in November last year, during the same South American trip where Bieber visited some, er, local entrepreneurs at a brothel in Rio, eventually inviting two of them back to his hotel to further discuss business matters. Bieber later pulled out halfway through a show he was performing in Rio after someone threw a bottle at him.
