Steaua owner Becali arrested

BUCHAREST: The owner of Steaua Bucharest football club was arrested early on Friday on charges of kidnapping three men who allegedly stole his car earlier this year.

Gigi Becali, 50, was arrested following a five-hour court session through the night, after prosecutors argued he was a “a public danger,” Bucharest court officials said. Four others, who are all Becali’s bodyguards, were also arrested in the case. Becali will be detained for 29 days while the case is investigated.
