The investigation into the threats against soccer player Lionel Messi and the attack on the premises of his in-laws in the Argentine city of Rosario “It is going in a good direction”, according to what the attorney general said this Friday from the province of Santa Fe (east of the country), Jorge Baclini.
“The prosecutor works with several hypotheses and it is an investigation that is taking a good direction, so let’s hope that it can also have good results these days,” Baclini told Radio 2.
The attorney general rejected the concurrence of military forces to combat drug trafficking in Santa Fesince, in his opinion, this problem is “solvable” with members of the National Gendarmerie.
