In Argentina, Justice continues to work hard in the investigations to determine responsibilities and undertake arrest work against the antisocials who a few days ago shot at a supermarket owned by the family of Lionel Messi’s wife.

From the president of the country, Alberto Fernández, to other political figures, personalities, clubs, coaches and players have rejected the unfortunate event, in addition to adding much more pressure to the inspectors in charge of the investigation.

In this sense, the attorney general of the Santa Fe region, Jorge Baclini, told the media that for this week there will be “good results”since hypotheses are being discarded about a threat that is presumed was carried out by the forces of the drug mafiaor from the city of Rosario, where Messi is from.

“The prosecutor is working with several hypotheses and it is an investigation that is taking a good direction, so we hope that it can also have good results these days,” Baclini declared in a radio interview.

“Messi we are waiting for you, Javkin is also a drug trafficker, he will not take care of you”, was the message left by the antisocials after attacking the premises of the political family of the 2022 world champion.

Meanwhile, there has been total silence from both Messi and his wife, Antonela Roccuzzo. But the mother of the 36-year-old star, Celia Cuccittini, has expressed herself in this regard, stressing that they are well and safe: “We are fine, it was in Anto’s father’s supermarket. We never moved with custody, we lead a normal life.

The Argentine striker scored on Saturday in the match that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) beat Nantes 4-2 at home in the French Ligue 1. Lionel Messi’s next challenge is the decisive tie against Bayern Munich for the second leg of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) round of 16.
