United KingdomBernie Ecclestone, former head of Formula 1, was stopped by Portuguese police upon arrival at Tires Aerodrome in Cascais after traveling with a shotgun intended for a clay pigeon shooting competition. He claimed he was not arrested but questioned for about an hour and required to surrender the weapon due to lacking proper documentation for importing it. Ecclestone stated that the Portuguese authorities were helpful and denied reports of an arrest. This incident follows a similar occurrence in 2022 when he was arrested in Brazil for illegally carrying a firearm.
