the brazilian comedian Fabio Rabin was arrested at Qatarthis Monday afternoon (5), while on his way to Estádio 974 to watch the Brazilian national team’s match against South Korea in the round of 16 of the World Cup.
According to Uol Esporte, Rabin stayed in a tent set up on the outskirts of the stadium, where the local police take drunk fans — by law, it is forbidden to consume alcohol in the country. In addition, the portal reported that the Brazilian cried a lot and presented a somewhat incoherent speech to the police.
On social networks, Rabin apologized to his followers for the “scare” and said that “the important thing is that Brazil thrashed” South Korea. “I tried to communicate with the locals here, I couldn’t, to talk about my ticket, about the sector I was in, it didn’t work. I ended up getting stuck in a small room, I despaired”, vented the comedian.
However, although he later minimized the situation, he recorded a live broadcast hours before showing himself very shaken, fearing for his life. The video reverberated on Twitter:
Denied drunkenness
To Uol, at the scene, Rabin denied having been drunk. However, at the time of the approach, the portal found out from friends of the artist that he had drunk enough to barely be able to walk.
