Bernie Ecclestone was detained this Monday in Portugal, at Tires Aerodrome, in Cascais, after landing there with his private jet.
The former Formula 1 boss explained that the detention happened by mistake, stating that the situation "was for clay pigeon shooting," suggesting that the authorities mistook him for someone else.
Ecclestone, who led Formula 1 for decades, was in Portuguese territory when he was intercepted by authorities at the aerodrome.
The episode generated some initial confusion, but the exact circumstances that led to the detention were not fully clarified in the brief account available.
