Teen pop star is nowadays grabbing eyeballs more due to his brawls, courts cases and other controversies than singing.
Pop sensation Justin Bieber faces an arrest warrant over attack on a photographer in 2013
The singer now faces an arrest warrant by an Argentine judge, who claims the singer failed to respond to summons related to allegations that he ordered bodyguards to attack a photographer in 2013.
Judge Alberto Julio Banos ordered the “immediate detention” of Bieber and bodyguards Hugo Alcides Hesny and Terrence Reche Smalls, reported Billboard.
It was not immediately clear whether the warrant would extend beyond Argentina.
Bieber, 21, is accused of sending the bodyguards to attack photographer Diego Pesoa outside a Buenos Aires nightclub. Bieber reportedly never returned to Argentina to respond to questions about the incident.
Justin Bieber was awarded community service in egging case. Under Argentine law, Bieber would face from one month to six years in prison if convicted on a charge of causing injuries.
In comments to local station Telefe Noticias, Pesoa’s lawyer implied that the warrant would force Bieber to return to the South American country.
“Now we just need to wait for the police to find him and bring him” to Argentina, said lawyer Matias Morla. “For us, this is a triumph against all those who said this case was a bluff and that we didn’t have anything.”
