"We are waiting for you": Argentina's World Cup hero, Lionel Messi
In a chilling development, Argentina’s World Cup hero, Lionel Messi, has received death threats after gunmen attacked a supermarket owned by his in-laws. A note left by the gunmen read, “we’re waiting for you.”
Messi, who previously played for Barcelona in the Spanish top-league football, currently plays for Paris Saint-Germain.
According to the Spanish police, at least two men on a motorcycle fired a dozen shots into the supermarket in the early hours.
They also left a message on a piece of cardboard that read, “Messi, we’re waiting for you. Javkin is also a drug trafficker, so he won’t take care of you.”
avkin is the mayor of Rosario, where Messi has a house in the suburb of Funes. The supermarket in Rosario is owned by the family members of Messi’s wife, Antonella Roccuzzo.
According to a news report by London’s Guardian website, Prosecutor Federico Rébola in Rosario said that authorities were reviewing security camera footage and that the investigation was ‘preliminary.’
Rebola said that it was the first time Messi’s in-laws had received this kind of threat.
