Justin Bieber has finally been charged for a long overdue assault and theft case in Argentina.

The case goes way back to 2013 when Biebs was in the middle of his tour in Buenos Aires. At the time, he was reportedly accused of instructing his entourage to beat up a paparazzo and steal his money and gear.

The bustle, which was even caught partly on video (below), made both celebrity and national news. A year later, Bieber was ordered to come back to Argentina to testify but was not able to attend.

So he was issued an arrest warrant in 2015. The warrant was later canceled, although the case went on now leading to his present indictment for robbery resulting to minor injuries.

Obviously, Bieber will be arrested as soon as he sets foot on Argentinian soil, so he canceled that leg of his Purpose World Tour and apologized to his Argentinian fans back in May.

And in a tweet that he posted and later deleted, he went on to blame the government, writing, "Argentinian beliebers I would like nothing more than to bring the #purposetour there but the Argentinian government won't allow it. So sorry."

For now, the singer is set to visit the rest of Latin America in February and March and is reportedly planning to appeal the indictment.

Bieber may just be 22, but he has been arrested, jailed, and faced tons of other charges for DUI, assault, and, more often, careless and dangerous driving. Surely this charge would not bother him any more than it did the others. After all, money talks!
