Gerard Pique Forced to Apologise After Alleged Incident with Police in Barcelona

Gerard Pique had a bit of explaining to do after an ugly incident involving his brother Marc Pique receiving a fine for a traffic violation. 

The Barcelona man was apparently furious and lashed out against the Guardia Urbana in an incident in Barcelona. 

It's worth noting that Pique tweeted out an apology but also that the incident was greatly exaggerated.

According to Sport English, everything started when Marc Pique was fined for stopping 15 minutes in a bus zone. When the brothers were confronted, according to the report, Gerard Pique went on a tirade. 

"

You are envious of me because I am famous. You are fining me because you are on commission, because you have no money and you need to make commission. 

I'm going to speak with your bosses and get you reprimanded. 

You think you are masters of the world because you wear that uniform and fine people. Your father's going to pay this fine—I'm not. 

You are a disgrace. Your work makes me sick and the Guardia Urbana is a f***ing embarrassment. 

"

The report also states that when the ticket was written, Gerard Pique took it out of the officer's hands and tossed it back out the window. 

Marca tweeted out images of the incident.
