Vidal, from the casino to custody and court
Posted Thursday, June 18, 2015 by Marca.com
Arturo Vidal enjoyed his afternoon off on Tuesday at a casino near Santiago, but little did he know he'd spend the night in a police cell.
Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli had given his players some time off following the match against Mexico and Vidal decided to go to the casino with his wife.
The Juventus midfielder was due back at the team's training camp at 23:00, but never made it back owing to the car crash he suffered while driving under the influence of alcohol - he scored a 1.2 on the blood alcohol level test after being breathalysed (anything above 0.8 is considered drink driving in Chile).
Vidal was held in custody at the police station in Buin overnight and was then taken to court, where the details of his arrest were verified and he was formally charged. For the time being, he has had his licence suspended, while the police has launched an investigation into the accident.
