Outraged on media as Lionel Messi reportedly received at least £2.4million in cash for supporting one of the most corrupt dictators in Africa, it was claimed on Tuesday.
According to UK Daily Mail, Barcelona superstar caused outrage at the weekend when he arrived in Gabon, the former French colony, as a guest of President Ali Bongo.
Wearing Bermuda shorts and a T-shirt, and showing off his new tattoos, Messi was officially laying the foundation stones for a new stadium in the city of Port-Gentil.
