There is enough evidence against Justin Bieber to question him in a criminal case, an Argentinian investigative judge has said.
Singer accused of sending bodyguards to attack Diego Pasoa outside Buenos Aires nightclub during 2014 tour
The pop star is accused of sending bodyguards to attack a photographer outside a Buenos Aires nightclub during a 2013 South American tour, during which he apologised for defiling the Argentinian flag on stage and got into trouble with police for allegedly spraying graffiti in Brazil and Colombia.
“The evidence from witnesses, footage and photos shows that he didn’t want his pictures taken,” Judge Facundo Cubas told AP on Friday. “That led his bodyguards to chase down after the photographers and it was followed by a beating.”
Cubas summoned Bieber for questioning on Thursday and asked Interpol to notify the singer that he has 60 days to appear. The judge said that he would issue an international arrest warrant if Bieber failed to comply.
The Argentinian photographer, Diego Pesoa, alleges that he was beaten on 9 November2013 by Bieber’s bodyguards outside the Ink nightclub, where the singer and his entourage partied.
Under Argentinian law, Bieber faces up from one month to six years in prison if he was convicted of injuring the photographer, the judge said.
Representatives for the Canadian-born singer could not be reached for comment.
