Gunmen attacked an Argentina supermarket owned by Lionel Messi‘s wife Antonela Roccuzzo’s family and left a chilling message for the footballer. On CCTV, one of two men on a motorcycle was seen walking up to the premises in Messi’s hometown of Rosario and repeatedly firing at metal shutters over the windows and front door.
A total of six shots were fired at the supermarket. The assailants are also said to have left a handwritten message at the scene that read: “Messi. We are waiting for you. Javkin is not going to look after you”. Notably, Pablo Javkin is the current mayor of Rosario.
According to a local TV station that covered the attack, the message suggested that criminals were attempting to extort money from the seven-time Ballon D’Or winner. It has also been suggested that the raid could have been carried out by football supporters known as barrabravas in Argentina.
The supermarket, known as Supermercado Unico, is said to be owned by Antonela’s family and managed by one of her cousins. It is expected to remain closed on Thursday as a result of the gun attack, which occurred around 2 a.m. Messi owns ‘The Fortress,’ a massive mansion on the outskirts of Rosario.
The massive estate, built on three adjoining plots of land in a gated private estate, includes a massive cinema, gym, and underground garage with space for 15 cars. In June 2017, the World Cup winner married Antonela in a lavish ceremony at Rosario’s City Centre Hotel and Casino.
Former Manchester City striker Sergio Aguero and Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez were among the guests. Xavi recently hinted that his former teammate could be returning to La Liga, implying that the decision is still in the hands of the seven-time Ballon d’Or winner.
