Message was “Messi, we’re waiting for you. Javkin is also a drug trafficker, so he won’t take care of you.”

Doesn't seem too smart to annoy someone who could afford to buy a death squad of their own

I don’t know the whole situation but sounds cartel related. Some of those organizations are more powerful than the government, in places like Mexico at least. F that, I’d move.

Doesn’t seem wise to target the savior of Argentina

There's clearly an aspect we are missing. Maybe Messi traffics drugs or is involved in some illegal activities. If Messi has fucked some big player out of a lot of money in some way then is starts to make sense.

The wild side of me thinks this could be another high level player making millions and getting into a riskier profile style of life. But of course it’s most likely to be extortion at the cheapest level. Ahhhhh the world, so disturbingly beautiful and yet bland..

Deep intel indicates Messi has funded various cartel organizations in Mexico and is being linked to El Chapo

Crazy thing is, I've been conditioned at this point to just read the comments first because theres ALWAYS a correction/context posted in there somewhere. I dont even read the actual articles most of the time.

Wow, you are being down voted for stating a fact. Your point count is a testament to your statement. There should be a study that looks into why these games matter so much in a deep personal way to some people.

I dont have time to go into a lot of detail since im at work right now and it would require to explain about 30 years of corruption and crime perpetrated by the current rulling party.

But the current head of the police has been caught multiple times in text, audio and video coordinating with the drug cartels, giving orders and shit.

The government has openly atacked messi lately because he snubbed them after winning the world cup. The team said they didnt want to bring politics into the celebration but the government still send a lot of people to the airport to try and get a photo op for the upcoming elections, the team managed to avoid it so they used the police to try and divert the bus to the pink house, since they refused they basically had to cut the celebration short and leave early, since then they have been openly atacking messi and the rest of the team, calling them snobs and traitors.

This is just another part of it, the peronist party and their followers behave pretty much like the maga movement, whatever dear leader say is gospel and they will attack anyone they are pointed at.

Half the people think this was a "lone wolf" peronist fan, the other half believe this was a crime group send by their boss, the current head of the police, to send a message.

The timing is just to perfect.

After living in this shithole for 40 years i got to say, i dont have any proof, but also dont have any doubts.

So real talk.

I know this is for Messi’s brother, not Lionel Messi. But I wonder what would happen if the gunmen were to harm Messi instead of his brother.

That gunman must have been confused. Obviously he thought he was in the US, where those in power do NOT want to take away the criminal's right to kill innocent people.

I imagine it would be like one of those mirror arrays that concentrates the sunlight on one point for power generation. Except the mirrors are Argentinians collectively death-staring.

Hi there mr. failedreadingcomprehension. I did not accuse Messi of trafficing drugs. I said there is clearly context missing. Since the threatening message involved drugs I did suppose that if the missing connection was drug related it would make sense.

friendlyjordies and lionel messi vs. the world.

Thanks for the insight by the way. Does seem too noteworthy to not add up. Curious how much investigative work will be* done though.

Which is ridiculous.

The glory of Argentinians bringing it home. The team that fought together. I cheered for you guys and prayed so hard France wouldn’t win because they were used to being the big boys. I wanted Croatia & Argentina to make it. I was screaming when Argentina did.

And then to read after all that, he has to live in fear because of the threats extended to basically anyone related to him? That’s unacceptable and shameful for the government to stoop this low.

There is a rumour that Messi might end up his career at newel's, the team where he first started playing football before moving to Barcelona. These guys most likely support Rosario central, the other team from messi's hometown

Be aware that there are a LOT of lunatics in the opposition as well,it's not near the same level of black and white like in the US so the comparisons to MAGA people can be applied to "both" sides as well
