Lionel Messi receives a menacing letter: Shock after his family’s shop is targeted in Argentina

Gun­men who attacked the fam­i­ly of the wife of Paris Saint-Ger­main strik­er Lionel Mes­si in Rosario, Argenti­na, left threat­en­ing mes­sages for Mes­si, Rosario police con­firmed Thursday.

Two men on motor­bikes fired 14 shots at the shut­ter and front door of the Úni­co gro­cery store in the Lavalle dis­trict of Rosario. No one was injured, but the store was damaged.

Police said the attack­er also left a threat­en­ing mes­sage writ­ten on a piece of card­board that read, “Mes­si, we are wait­ing for you.” Jabkin is a drug deal­er. He won’t take care of you.”

An inves­ti­ga­tion is under­way. Pablo Jabuquin is the may­or of Rosario, the largest city in San­ta Fe Province, cen­tral Argenti­na, locat­ed 300km north of Buenos Aires.

After Thurs­day’s inci­dent, Javkin told reporters about the rise in vio­lence in Rosario and the lack of police and lack of protection.

Javk­in’s con­cerns are not new. Ear­li­er this week, he expressed frus­tra­tion at the lack of pro­tec­tion and the need for more police in a city where crime is on the rise.

Rosario is close, at 300km (from Buenos Aires). I want us to use all the resources Argenti­na has against crime for us, to pro­tect this city that gives the coun­try glo­ry and sci­ence, coun­try­side and art, fed­er­al­ism and union.”

Mes­si, who led Argenti­na to the 2022 World Cup tro­phy and won the FIFA Best Male Play­er award on Mon­day, and his wife Antonel­la Rocuz­zo, both from Rosario, have not com­ment­ed on the incident.
