The Barcelona defender returned home following Spain’s victory over Luxembourg in the early hours of Monday morning, where he met his sibling in the Port Olimpic area of Catalonia.
Police then approached the pair and slapped Marc, who was driving the car, with a fine for stopping in a bus lane, prompting the Spain star to react in furious fashion.
Spanish newspaper SPORT reported that Pique had accused police of being jealous of his fame and targeting him because of his wealth.
He is then claimed to have threatened to contact the bosses of the police on duty, before taking the parking ticket and throwing it at their accusers in disgust.Hmmmm,this is really funny though,continue for what Pique said.
"They've exaggerated what I said, but, in any case, I'm sorry, I made a mistake and it won't happen again.”
The episode adds to a growing list of controversial incidents involving the former Manchester United man, following his apparent support of Catalan independence.
Pique posted a picture of himself on Twitter last month with son Milan celebrating Catalunya's national day - 'La Diada' - and followed up with another tweet on September 11, when an estimated 1.8 million Catalans took to the streets in a march for the right to vote for independence from Spain.
"I have never seen anything like it. Simply unforgettable," the defender wrote in Catalan to his following of more than 9.5m on the social networking site.
He was quickly bombarded with responses from furious fans demanding he write in Spanish, while many more called for his retirement from the Spain side.
The 27-year-old has also found his place in the Barcelona starting XI under threat following the summer signing of centre-back Jeremy Mathieu, who has often partnered Javier Mascherano at the heart of the back four.
