Mauro Icardi driving license suspension and social media row

Overview

The Ministry of Transport of the Province of Buenos Aires issued a preventive suspension of Mauro Icardi’s driving privileges following a viral video posted by his partner, Eugenia ‘China’ Suárez. The footage showed Suárez leaning out of a vehicle window without a seatbelt while Icardi was driving. Investigations revealed Icardi was using an Argentine license that expired in May 2019. Under Provincial Law No. 13.927, the suspension requires Icardi to undergo a psychological evaluation and complete administrative procedures to determine his fitness to drive.

Icardi has contested the measure on social media, claiming he holds a valid Italian license until 2029. However, authorities noted that local regulations require residents to align foreign licenses with national standards. The incident has drawn condemnation from road safety organizations. Viviam Perrone, founder of Madres del Dolor, issued a statement alongside the Association of Traffic Victims, stating the couple’s decision to mock the Ministry rather than apologize constitutes a “lack of respect toward families who have lost loved ones to traffic accidents.”

Public controversy has expanded beyond the driving incident. A social media post by Icardi featuring a photo from a Paris hotel dated September 21, 2021, has reignited discussions regarding the timeline of his relationship with Suárez, potentially contradicting her previous statements and reviving the ‘Wandagate’ scandal. Additionally, Suárez’s social media activity, including a video of her son driving an electric jeep, has drawn further scrutiny from media commentators and public figures.
