Rosario has been the center of attention since Thursday, after the attack suffered by the supermarket of Antonela Roccuzzo’s family, completed by the autographed message addressed to Lionel Messi. “Messi, we are waiting for you.

The prosecutor investigating the incident, Federico Rébola, has requested an expert opinion on the message and is studying the images of at least four security cameras to verify the mechanisms and try to find the perpetrators of the accident. No arrests at the moment.

Rébola believed that the perpetrators of the attack “were looking for a public impact” and that “there is nothing to indicate that they intended to intimidate (Messi)”.
