Lionel Messi: Two armed men fired shots at a closed supermarket belonging to the family of Lionel Messi’s wife, before leaving a terrifying message on the ground aimed at the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner, in the dead of the night.
“Messi, we’re waiting for you. Javkin is narco, he won’t take care of you,” said the handwritten message left on the ground by the men who shot 14 bullets into the supermarket on Thursday.
Messi’s hometown Rosario, Mayor Pablo Javkin, confirmed the supermarket belonged to the family of Antonela Roccuzzo, who shares three children with the football superstar, and said the attack aimed to “create chaos in the city.” The supermarket is located 320 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires.
“Here, what’s sought is the repercussion, it’s perfidious,” he said. “What story goes more quickly viral in the world than an attack on Messi?”
Two armed men arrived on a motorbike before 3:00 am, one of them got off, fired shots, dropped a note, and left, a witness confirmed.
“This has been going on for some time,” said Javkin. “We have five security forces operating in Rosario yet they can do this because no one is chasing them.”
“Attract Attention.” rather than “a threat,” Provincial police assistant chief Ivan Gonzalez told Cadena 3 television station.
He said no one was injured since there was nobody at that hour.
Federico Rebola the prosecutor in charge of the case told reporters that there had been no previously known threats made against the Roccuzzo family.
“We’re concerned, this has a huge repercussion, we have the video images and we’re looking for more cameras,” he said.
Parana river in Rosario has gradually become a nerve center for drug trafficking and the most violent city in Argentina, with 287 murders in 2022.
Mayor, left-wing governor of Santa Fe state, Omar Perotti, and the center-left national government regularly pass on responsibility for counter-narcotics measurements and the use of the city’s security forces to each other.
The municipal, provincial, and national security forces, provincial minister Claudio Brilloni said he had “urged the federal forces to greater collaboration, engagement and participation” in the fight against violence and criminality in Rosario.
Among the right-wing opposition, two proclaimed contenders for October’s presidential election called for assistance from the military police to battle drug trafficking in Rosario.
“The situation is complicated in Rosario… the drug traffickers have won,” said Security Minister Anibal Fernandez.
