Relatives of the soccer player Ángel Di María, player of the Argentine national team and of the Portuguese Benfica, were threatened in the early hours of this March 25 through an intimidating note thrown in the closed neighborhood where they live, on the outskirts of the city of Rosario, they informed the AFP judicial sources.
The note, whose text was not disclosed by local authorities, was wrapped in a black plastic bag and was thrown in the early hours of March 25 from a car at the entrance to the Miraflores private neighborhood, located in Funes, 20 kilometers north. west of Rosario, in the province of Santa Fe (west-central Argentina).
“Di María himself has his domicile there.“he said to the AFP a spokesperson for the local Public Prosecutor’s Office (MPA), who announced that he is involved in the investigation “the criminalistics office of the Investigative Police” from Rosario.
“The removal of traces (fingerprints), the survey of security cameras and the taking of testimonies were requested.“added the official.
The property is where the player stays when he is visiting Argentina and is the residence of several family members.
A source from the Santa Fe Ministry of Security added that the note was thrown “from a gray car,” according to images from neighborhood surveillance cameras.
“We are not going to disseminate the content of the threat, because it would be playing into the hands of these criminal organizations that seek to generate public commotion.“he added.
However, the local press revealed that the bag carried a card with the legend “Familia Di María” and the note said “Not even (Maximiliano) Pullaro is going to save you”, in reference to the governor of the province.
The main research hypothesis is that the threat to the Di María family seeks to cause “commotion” in the city, plagued by violence from drug trafficking groups.
Something similar happened a year ago when a business owned by the in-laws of the captain of the Argentine national team, Lionel Messi, was attacked with gunfire in Rosario.
Also, this Monday the public bus transportation service in Rosario was suspended due to a written threat left in a garage where the vehicles are kept.
This city of 1.3 million inhabitants, 300 kilometers from the Argentine capital, was virtually paralyzed 15 days ago due to lack of transportation, suspension of classes and closed businesses after four murders of workers that the local government attributed to criminal gangs. whose leaders are imprisoned.
