Mauro Icardi, whose paths parted with Galatasaray, has been banned from driving by the Argentine Ministry of Transport. While the ministry stated that his license had expired, the footballer strongly opposed the decision on social media.
Decision from the Ministry
The Argentine Ministry of Transport officially announced that 33-year-old footballer Mauro Icardi, who has not yet found a new team in his country, has been temporarily banned from driving until 2099.
Reason for the Incident
The ministry statement noted that Icardi was in the driver's seat with an expired license, that Eugenia la China Suárez unbuckled her seatbelt, and that she stuck a large part of her body out of the window while Icardi continued driving. With the spread of the video, it was determined that his license period had expired.
Social Media Reaction from Icardi
Mauro Icardi responded very harshly to this announcement by the Argentine Ministry of Transport through his social media accounts, reacting to the penalty and the situation.
Italian License Defense
Stating that he has an Italian driver's license valid until 2029, the Argentine footballer questioned how this document was rendered invalid and stated that the ministry was picking on him.
