One of Cristiano Ronaldo's bodyguards has reportedly been involved in a Spanish airport spat said to have led to the intervention of police and a half-hour delay for the footballer's £20 million private jet.
Well-respected daily newspaper Menorca said the Man United striker's minder got upset about being asked to wait after making an airport scanner go off with his splinted finger as he went through a VIP passenger control.
The newspaper claimed on its digital website he had 'raised his voice and gesticulated violently' before walking through the airport security arch without being searched despite warnings from security personnel they would call the police.
It added: 'The bodyguard blurted out he had been a police officer in Portugal and they could call who they wanted.
'The police managed to pacify the situation and the plane left at least half an hour late.'
Cristiano, 37, was described as a bystander who looked 'serious' but was not involved in any way in the incident.
Although the bodyguard wasn't named, the description given by local press pointed to it being one of the two identical twins the soccer star employs to watch his back. Ronaldo and his family are protected by Portuguese twins who served as soldiers with an elite special forces unit in Afghanistan
