The Washington issue has shown signs of a problem.”

“It is also worth noting that Mr. Messi has previously acknowledged the submission of this case in past media articles since the date of the first arraignment, which also includes today’s new arraignment date.”
He added, “Mr. Messi’s lawyer may have called the wrong office”.
