A week after being elected the best player in the world by FIFA, in a ceremony held in Paris, France, the Argentine Lionel Messi, 35, received an unpleasant message in Rosario, his hometown, early this Thursday (2). A sign directed at the attacker was placed outside one of the supermarkets that belongs to the family of woman Antonella Roccuzzo, 35. The establishment was also shot several times by two men on a motorcycle, according to local police.
“Messi, we are waiting for you. Javkin is also in the drug trade, he will not protect you”, says the message. Mentioned on the poster, Pablo Javkin is the mayor of Rosario, considered the most violent city in Argentina and where there is a strong presence of drug traffickers. The politician was at the scene after the attack, spoke to the Argentine press and raised suspicions about the security forces of the province of Santa Fe, of which Rosario is a part.
“I doubt everyone, including those who should protect us. And I’ll make it clear, we’ve had many meetings with federal and provincial forces, judges, inspectors, in recent days. Part of what was said has to do with this zone and today it appears.” , said the mayor of the city.
According to the newspaper El Tiempo, the police suspect that the attack, filmed by cameras in the market, was carried out with the aim of attracting attention and not as a concrete intimidation of Messi or the Roccuzzos. For the authorities, the motivation would even be due to the political battles in the region and nothing personal against the player or the traditional family of the region.
