Gunmen attack Lionel Messi’s family store, leave threatening note for football star
In the dead of night, two men fired shots at a closed supermarket belonging to the family of Lionel Messis wife, before leaving a threatening message on the ground aimed at the seven-time Ballon dOr winner.
Messi, were waiting for you. Javkin is a narco, he wont take care of you, said the handwritten message left on the ground by the men who shot 14 bullets into the supermarkets metallic facade in the early hours of Thursday.
Pablo Javkin is the mayor of Messis hometown, Rosario, where the supermarket is located, some 320 kilometers northwest of Buenos Aires.
Javkin confirmed the supermarket belonged to the family of Antonela Roccuzzo, who shares three children with the football superstar, and said the aim of the attack was to to create chaos in the city.
Here, whats sought is the repercussion, its perfidious, he said. What story goes more quickly viral in the world than an attack on Messi
A witness confirmed seeing the two men arrive on a motorbike just before 300. One of them got off, fired the shots, dropped the note and they both fled.
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.
Provincial police assistant chief Ivan Gonzalez told Cadena 3 television station that the message was not a threat but rather an attempt to attract attention.
He said no one was hurt since there was no one on the premises at that hour. The prosecutor in charge of the case, Federico Rebola, told reporters that there had been no previously known threats made against the Roccuzzo family.
