As per a report from Marca in Spain, Messi has demanded that the Futuro Vegetal group compensate him with a sum of 50,000 euros for the damages caused to his property in Ibiza. The incident took place on August 7 and created quite a buzz among the public.
Members of the Futuro Vegetal organization trespassed into Messi’s residence in Ibiza and vandalized the exterior with red and black paint, leaving behind a banner that read: “We must act.” Their protest stemmed from their belief that the Argentine soccer icon unlawfully owns the property, as it was constructed without proper authorization, thereby impacting the environment.
