Argentinian YouTubers Beni Marmol and Pato Perrotta are arrested in Miami after authorities say they tried to enter a FIFA World Cup match using invalid credentials and bypass security checkpoints. According to reports, the arrests happened at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens during the group stage match between Colombia and Portugal on Saturday, with 16 people reportedly detained at the venue. Authorities allege the creators attempted to get access to the stadium area using media passes issued for a previous event that had expired. Deputies and other officials say the pair managed to evade multiple security checks—described as three checkpoints in one account—before they were stopped on stadium grounds. During questioning, Marmol reportedly said he intended to livestream as a media influencer, while Perrotta reportedly said he had been hired by a media company but acknowledged his credentials were no longer valid. The creators face charges including interference with a sporting event, described as a felony under Florida law. A judge finds probable cause and sets bail at $2,500 for each, and reporting says they remain under legal restrictions near the stadium while the case proceeds.
