Guinea international Constant detained at Istanbul airport
Turkish side Trabzonspor's Guinea international midfielder Kevin Constant was detained on Saturday at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport as he was boarding a flight to the French city of Nice, report said.
A heated argument broke out between the airport personnel and Constant after the footballer attempted to use the business class check-in counter earlier Saturday despite holding an economy class seat, news agency Dogan reported.
The 28-year-old was detained after allegedly insulting the police and taken to a nearby police station for questioning, Dogan said.
He is expected to appear before the court later Saturday.
Dogan published a picture of Constant smiling and giving the thumbs up signal as he was being led away by plain clothes police officers.
Constant joined first division club Trabzonspor in 2014 on a four-year contract worth 8 million euros after departing Serie A club AC Milan.
