Justin Bieber may be an international superstar but
seems he also has a knack at finding himself in hot
water with the law across the globe too.
On Thursday, an Argentine judge ordered that the
20-year-old return to Buenos Aires to face questions
over an alleged attack on a photographer by the
star's bodyguards last year.
And if Justin does not return, he could be arrested
and extradited.
Judge Facundo Cubas asked Interpol on Thursday to
use all 'necessary means' to notify the singer that he
has 60 days to appear before the court in Argentina.
The judge said that if he does not comply, an
international arrest order will be issued.
The order steams form an alleged assault on
November 9 last year when nightclub photographer
Diego Pesoa claims the star set his bodyguards on
him.
In a video of the incident, Diego can be seen filming
as girls from inside the Ink club hop into Justin's
vehicle and then the singer is walked out by his
bodyguards but covered by a sheet.
The video one website the Farandula Show , then
shows one bodyguard becoming enraged and
charging at the photographer and pushing him.
Diego is then seeing running away and the
bodyguard gives chase with the rest of the security
following behind.
When the guard catches up with him, the
photographer is seen on the ground as security
appears to intervene and pull the guard off him.
Diego claims he was set on by numerous guards at
the pop star's request, and this is what the judge
wants to question Justin about.
At the time Diego said: 'I was waiting for Justin
Bieber to leave so I could take a picture of him when
a bodyguard tried to take my camera off me.
'He began to run after me and half a block away he
punched me in the head before kicking me in the
stomach as I was lying on the ground.
'When I tried to get away, I realised that instead of
just one there were seven or eight bodyguards behind
me.
'I've got cuts all the way up my arm and bruises on
my stomach and my head hurts.'
In addition to the alleged incident, the Baby signer's
trip to Argentina was a bit of a disaster with the star
having to stop mid-concert after getting food
poisoning.
Justin was also asked to leave his hotel due to fans
inundating the establishment.
Justin is currently on probation after pleading no
contest in July for vandalism after he was caught on
video throwing eggs at his Calabasas neighbour's
home in January.
He has to pay $80,900 in damages, serve two years'
probation, complete twelve weeks of anger
management and do five days of community service
