Barreto in trouble!

Barreto, after signing his contract for the next season with Mohun Bagan, was leaving town today morning for Brazil via Dubai. While boarding the Emirates flight at around 9.00am , he was detained by the Airport Customs Authority. He was questioned for unlawful possession of foreign currency which amounted to 21 thousand Dollars out of which only 3 thousand dollar, later, was granted to be clean by the authority according to papers. The rest of the money was unaccounted for and after contacting the Bagan officials, Barreto was arrested to be put up in the Barasat Court later in the day.Barreto has submitted his explanation but according to sources his explanation does not seem credible and could entail more trouble. He has however been granted bail on a personal payment of Rs. 10,000/- (INR) and his passport withheld for security
