Gervinho has reportedly been caught up in a scandal after the Roma striker tried to bribe a pilot into smuggling a woman into Italy aboard a private jet from the Ivory Coast.
Roma had given the former Arsenal forward a private jet to ease his travel back to for their Champions League encounter against CSKA Moscow. Gervinho was in Ivory Coast for their AFCON qualifications against Cameroon which ended in a goalless draw as they secured their place in next year’s final.
He was however unable to succeed with his plan. Despite bribing four airport workers to allow the unidentified woman onto the flight, Gervinho’s plan was foiled by the pilot.
The player reportedly tried to persuade the pilot to depart with the extra passenger, who refused on the grounds that he had strict instructions to return with only Gervinho.The four members of staff who Gervinho is said to have bribed lost their jobs after being fired by authorities.
