Officer on trial for breaching Lionel Messi's privacy at Dubai Airport

The Dubai Public Prosecution has referred an officer of the Dubai International Airport to the Court of Misdemeanors after he was charged with breaching the privacy of football superstar Lionel Messi, when the latter visited Dubai recently.
‘Emarat Al Youm’ newspaper reports that Argentine and Barcelona player’s passport was filmed by the officer on his mobile phone and then posted on social media.

The Public Prosecution charged the officer with breaching the privacy of Messi, posting the video and pictures on Snapchat and making inappropriate comments. The officer will be tried under Federal Penal Code.

Messi was in Dubai to attend the opening of the 10th edition of the Dubai Sports Conference.
