Lionel Messi’s brothers has been ordered to be arrested by a prosecutor in Argentina.

Authorities say that Matias Messi illegally carried a gun. The weapon was found inside a blood-stained boat after he crashed it in the Parana river, reports the Associated Press.

Prosecutor Jose Luis Caterina says Messi is being investigated and will eventually be detained for illegally possessing a firearm in ‘a suspicious context.’

The weapon was found inside a blood-stained boat.

 The 35-year-old is recovering from a fractured jaw and other injuries at a hospital in Argentina’s Santa Fe province.

The prosecutor says that after the crash, the brother of the soccer star was helped by a local resident.

Messi’s attorney, Ignacio Carbone, said that his client crashed into a sandbank and denied that he owns the gun.
