Police question Messi in drugs money-laundering probe

Leo Messi was questioned by police investigating money laundering by Colombian drug cartels.

Detectives are probing claims huge sums of drugs money were laundered through charity football matches featuring the Barcelona star.

The four-times Fifa World Player of the Year gave a witness statement to Spanish police last week, as did fellow Barca stars Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano and goalie Jose Manuel Pinto.
