Due to Messi's wedding, City Center casino’s security is reinforced

The operation will be deployed from today (Thursday), a day before the big party. It will cover the hotel City Center, its surroundings and all those places to which the guests are transferred. The casino that works inside the hotel will have a normal operation and will have the security of the company that takes care of those tasks habitually. In addition, there will be private reinforcement staff, hired by the organizers.

In the city of Rosario (located 300 kilometers from Buenos Aires), the operation will be in charge of provincial and federal forces. About 260 people, including the presence of current and former Leonel Messi’s teammates throughout his career, as well as family and friends of the player and his wife Antonela will participate this Friday in the so-called "wedding of the year” in Rosario.

The presence of the Colombian singer Shakira with her husband Gerard Piqué, and Lio's teammates in Barcelona, Iván Rakitic, Sergio Busquets, Luis Suárez, Neymar, Rafinha and Javier Mascherano, as well as his friend from Chelsea Césc Fábregas, are already confirmed. There are also invited other friends from the Argentine football national team Sergio 'Kun' Agüero, Ángel Di María and Ezequiel Lavezzi. There will also be an area for 155 accredited journalists.

The Casino City Center in Rosario is a modern upscale property with all the amenities that can be required for na event like this. It only has a topic to be considered, a detail that makes it necessary to adequately reinforce the security measures. Not far from there it is placed an illegal neighborhood named Las Flores, a fief of Los Monos, one of the bands that controls the drug traffic in Rosario, in the southern part of the city.
