Gimnasia de Jujuy Player Detained After Plane Bomb Joke

A player from Gimnasia de Jujuy, Emiliano Endrizzi, was detained after shouting he had a 'bomb' on the team's flight to Buenos Aires. The incident occurred ahead of a match against Agropecuario in the Primera Nacional. Authorities had to activate a bomb threat protocol, leading to the crew's deboarding for a specialized inspection of the aircraft. Witnesses claim the player may have been joking. However, the club stated that his actions are an individual act contrary to the institution's values. The club's legal team has already intervened. The club expressed its full willingness to cooperate with the authorities for a swift clarification of the facts and is awaiting their decision to assess any necessary internal measures. It was also noted that the competent authorities will determine the rescheduling of the flight once all security protocol measures have been completed.
