Barcelona superstar, Lionel Messi's older brother, Matias, handed a two-and-a-half-year suspended prison sentence for illegally possessing a firearm.
The 35-year-old instead of going to jail will undertake community service.
A firearm was found late in 2017 inside a blood-stained boat, which Matias crashed in the Parana River. The 35-year-old was initially held under preventive arrest and later released while he recovered from a fractured jaw and other injuries in the Santa Fe province of Argentina.
At that time, his lawyer argued that his client crashed the boat into a sandbank and denied that he owned the gun.
Matias who's not new to the other side was held for 16 hours in a prison cell in 2015 after officers found an unlicensed 22-caliber gun in his car and was also arrested for allegedly having a loaded gun in his belt.
