Rosario police are already investigating the threat to Angel Di Maria’s family. The contents of the note left near the Funes Hills Miraflores private condominium on the outskirts of the Argentine city where the Benfica striker is based are already known.
“Tell your son Angel not to return to Rosario, because otherwise we will ruin everything by killing a family member. Even Pullaro.” [Maximiliano Pullaro, governador da província de Santa Fé] will save you. We don’t throw away papers. We threw away the lead and the dead,” the letter says, reports the Infobae portal.
The authorities are taking this threat seriously, especially as the atmosphere of tension in the region has intensified. Just today another episode was released on the Infobae channel. A bus driver encountered a threat at the company’s warehouse as he prepared to launch the service. “Today there is one less Western mafia,” one could read. We are talking about the cold-blooded murder of Marcos Ivan Daloyi, a driver who was shot dead in the car he was driving three weeks ago.
In the case of 36-year-old Di Maria, the note was thrown from a gray car that was driving in the area at 5:30 a.m. Portugal time, 2:30 a.m. local time. Having ended his contract with Benfica and a wanted Rosario Central who want their prodigal son back, the world champion has already expressed concern about the lack of security in his hometown.
Last March, the family of Messi’s wife, Antonela Roccuzzo, was also threatened, this time with shots fired in the direction of a supermarket belonging to her chain. A note was found on the door that said: “Messi, we are waiting for you. Dzhavkin is also a drug dealer, he won’t look after you.”
