The story so farSummarised from gpfans.com

Bernie Ecclestone has been reunited with his shotgun after surrendering it to Portuguese authorities earlier this month. He was questioned by police at Tires Aerodrome for lacking proper documentation for the firearm, although he clarified that he was not arrested and was in the country for a clay pigeon shooting tournament.

The situation has been resolved amicably, with Ecclestone stating that there was never a real problem. He expressed frustration over the media's portrayal of the incident, calling it a 'massive cock-up.' This incident marks the second time Ecclestone has encountered legal issues regarding firearms at an airport, having previously faced a similar situation in Brazil.
