Ecclestone arrested

Former Formula One head Bernie Ecclestone was arrested in Brazil for having a gun while boarding a plane, police said yesterday. The 91-year-old Ecclestone was released on bail and Brazilian media reported that he took a private jet to Switzerland a short time later. Sao Paulo police said in another statement that Ecclestone ‘‘claimed to be the owner of the illegal gun, but alleged he did not know it was in its personal luggage.’’ He was released after paying 6060 Brazilian reals (NZ$1967).
