Angel Di Maria, Argentine national team player with 138 caps and winner of the 2022 World Cup, is said to have received a threatening message at his family’s residence in Rosario.
The disturbing note warned against his return to the city and even targeted his family’s safety, raising concerns among local authorities.
Amid threats, the police carried out a swift operation which resulted in the arrest of three people and the possession of a 22 Bersa pistol as well as class A drugs.
Police investigation
Argentina’s security minister, Patricia Bullrich, praised the authorities’ dogged efforts, saying, as reported by the Sun:
” Excellent work by Federal Prosecutor Javier Arzubi and Pablo Socca, from the Santa Fe Prosecutor’s Office, who allowed us to get information about the person behind the threats “.
She emphasized their commitment to the fight against crime: ” We fight mafias, drug traffickers and extortion to bring security to the people of Rosario and all Argentines “.
The arrests came quickly after Pablo Acotto, the main suspect, was apprehended while trying to flee Di Maria’s hometown of Rosario.
” Pablo Acotto, who was under investigation for drug trafficking, confessed during wiretaps that he was the perpetrator and his accomplices Sara Belen Gutierrez and Gabriel Ismael Pastore were arrested by the Argentine Federal Police and Santa Fe police as they planned to escape their home. “.
Prosecutor Pablo Socca emphasized the seriousness of the situation: ” We need to investigate what motivated the threat, what might lead us to the ideologue, but that’s something we’d prefer to keep aside for now to protect our investigation “.
He assured the public of his commitment to elucidate the motivation behind the threats and ensure the safety of all citizens.
