Lionel Messi, the world-renowned football player, has become the subject of viral internet attention, but this time it's not just about his skills on the field. His bodyguard, Yassine Chueko, has gained significant online recognition for his swift and professional protection of Messi.

A video of Chueko, a former US Navy SEAL, showcased his quick responses to protect Messi from overly enthusiastic fans. The clip went viral on Reddit, receiving over 175,000 upvotes, with many social media users praising Chueko's calm yet effective demeanor.

One user commented, "Messi is one of the most famous people on the planet, so that number of psychos is as big as it could possibly be for a human being. People way less famous than Messi have been hurt or killed by random people."

Another user noted, "This dude sprints at full speed, and then he just calmly hugs the people running towards him and walks them away from him. I bet this person is expensive as hell, but worth every penny."

Chueko's background as a Navy SEAL, with service in Iraq and Afghanistan, equips him with the skills necessary to protect someone as high-profile as Messi. His role includes not just guarding Messi during games but also accompanying him on public outings and family events.

Inter Miami club president David Beckham personally recommended Chueko for the position. On the pitch, Chueko runs around the field to intercept any potential threats to Messi, ensuring his safety at all times.

In addition to his professional duties, Chueko maintains a significant presence on social media, with 768,000 followers on Instagram, where he shares videos of his boxing and martial arts training.

Gadag (Karnataka) (PTI): Lokayukta police on Saturday said they caught BJP MLA Chandru Lamani allegedly accepting a Rs 5 lakh bribe.

The trap was laid by the Gadag Lokayukta police based on a complaint filed by a contractor.

“Today, a successful trap was laid by the Gadag Lokayukta police station. The accused public servant was caught while accepting Rs 5 lakh,” officials said, adding case has been registered under Section 7(a) read with 7(A) of the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988.

The complainant, Vijay Pujar, is a Class-I contractor from Chinchali in this district.

Lokayukta officials said the alleged bribe demand was linked to works under the Minor Irrigation Department, including the construction of retaining walls along a road.

“The accused had demanded Rs 11 lakh from the complainant to execute the work. During the trap, Rs 5 lakh was accepted,” officials said.

Along with the MLA, who represents the Shirahatti Assembly constituency, his personal assistants — Manjunath Valmiki and Guru Naik — have also been secured in connection with the case.

“Accused 1, 2 and 3 have been secured, and the investigation is in progress,” the Lokayukta said in a statement.

Reacting to the incident, in a sarcastic remark, Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar said, “BJP leaders are very honest. They are corruption-free in this country. The Lokayukta might have received some wrong information.”

He added, “Let us see what the Lokayukta says. I will react after that.”

Leader of the Opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Council, Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, said he was not aware of the details and that his party does not tolerate bribery, adding that he would comment after gathering full information, while state BJP president B Y Vijayendra said he “would respond after ascertaining the facts.”

Meanwhile, supporters of Lamani condemned the Lokayukta action, alleging that the Congress government was behind the “conspiracy”.

They also raised slogans against the Congress government.
