Schiappacasse was arrested this Wednesday, January 26, around 6:00 p.m., on Route 9 at kilometer 81, in the Solís spa
The Peñarol soccer player was traveling in a private vehicle, driven by a 22-year-old man, and who also had two women aged 22 and 18 as companions.
According to Underlined, the athlete had a 9-millimeter pistol wrapped in a garment.
Schiappacasse stated that the weapon was “a delivery for the fans, to enter the stadium, but he did not know who he should give it to,” according to a statement accessed by Underlined.
The player was on his way to the Maldonado Campus where a few hours later the classic match between Nacional and Peñarol was played.
For his part, the driver of the car, who has a history of drug trafficking, was seized a drug pill.
