Buenos Aires, December 12
Matias Messi, older brother of Barcelona and Argentina star Lionel, has been sentenced to house arrest in Argentina for possession of a weapon, a prosecutor said here on Monday.
Messi, 35, was to be discharged from hospital later Monday and transferred to his home in Rosario, 300 km north of the capital Buenos Aires, said head of the prosecutor’s office for Cybercrimes and Weapons Lucas Altare.
He was taken to hospital with facial injuries after being found in a drifting and blood-stained motorboat on November 30, apparently after colliding with a sandbank. He was arrested for possession of a firearm found in the boat. — AFP
