The multi-year shirt sponsorship agreement between Italy’s AS Roma soccer club and Qatar Airways is worth E40m for three seasons, a source close to the matter said on Monday. Earlier AS Roma, who face Liverpool in the Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday, said it had signed a deal with Qatar Airways, making the airline the team’s official shirt sponsor until 2021. AS Roma had said that it was the largest deal ever signed by the club and one of the biggest ever agreed by an Italian team. <br/>

A 28-year-old Chicago man was in custody on Monday after police used a stun gun to arrest him aboard an American Airlines plane after he refused to move seats when accused of touching a female passenger without her permission at Miami International Airport. Jacob Garcia began screaming insults on Sunday when airline staff tried to move him to another seat after the woman and her boyfriend accused him of touching her inappropriately, according to a Miami-Dade Police Department arrest report. Police ordered everyone off the plane, which was about to depart for Chicago. Garcia began fighting with the couple, and officers hurried aboard. Garcia refused to budge from his seat, police said. A stun gun had little effect on him, possibly because it did not attach properly through his clothing, the arrest report said. Eventually he stood up and walked off the plane under police escort, but continued to resist and twice attempted to grab a police officer’s gun. Police charged Garcia with battery, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer, among other charges. <br/>
