Seven-time winner of the Golden Ball, Lionel Messi, despite the fact that he led the Argentina national team to the first world title since 1986, has problems with the local mafia in his homeland.
In the eastern part of the city of Rosario, where the future football star was born, a store owned by Leo’s wife, Antonelli Roccuzzo, which is run by one of the relatives of Messi’s mother of three, was fired upon. According to the EFE agency, unidentified persons on a motorcycle drove up to the premises and fired 14 shots. Due to the fact that the incident took place in the dead of night, at about three o’clock, no one was hurt, and most of the balls hit one of the three metal shutters.
The attackers also left a red-handed note addressed to the footballer. “Messi, we are waiting for you. Yavkin (Mayor of Rosario. - Auth.) also a drug dealer, he won’t take care of you“, - was written in the message.
Rosario is considered one of the most criminogenic cities in Argentina, where gangs of drug dealers operate. Nevertheless, Lionel Messi is always happy to come to his hometown, where he has a house in a private area, and spends almost all the holidays in it.
Earlier reported that ex-football player of the Austrian national team Volkan Karaman was shot in the middle of the street by his best friend.
