Argentina football icon, Diego Maradona has been arrested.
The football legend was stopped at an airport after his ex-girlfriend sued him for a £5 million pay-out, according to Independent, UK.
He was detained when he flew into the Argentina capital from Mexico.
Staff from the Brazilian airline TAM called police to the desk at Rio’s Tom Jobim airport who detained the 45-year-old.
After several hours of interrogation, and negotiation aided by the Argentinian consul Agostin Molin, Maradona was released without charge.
A fellow former Argentina footballer, Alejandro Mancuso, said the airline had acted in bad faith.
