Matias Messi, 35, told a security guard at a private fishing club he had cut his face after colliding with a sandbank near his home in Argentina.
But he was tracked down by police after prosecutors found blood all over the boat and a firearm on board.
He has been arrested for possession of a firearm. He is awaiting an operation for injuries including broken jaw.
Dramatic pictures revealed in local media show blood smeared all over the front of the motorboat, which was deserted at the fishing club in the town of Fighiera.
The gun was discovered by cops on the bloodied vessel. Blood was also splattered on the deck in the mysterious incident yesterday afternoon.
Messi, who cheated death in a car crash three months ago, is said to have driven himself to a health centre for treatment.
Last year, he was ordered to teach football as part of a probation order after being caught with gun in his Audi A5.
He was also ordered to stay off drugs and drink and pay a fine of around £414.
According to reports, two cops were left slightly injured after Messi was stopped on October 3, 2015.
It was not the first time he had a run-in with the police - in October 2008 he was arrested for allegedly having a loaded gun in his belt.
And in April 2011 he survived an assassination attempt by diving for cover as a gunman on a motorbike sprayed bullets at his house.
Matias is one of Lionel's two brothers - Rodrigo. who is also older than the Barcelona star, and a younger sister called Marisol.

After Jude by Dashia. Chapter 9

Jessica my sister could be a real pain in the butt, sometimes, I thought she was meant to have been Fatima's sister. It was my fourth day back home in Abuja and she'd refused going back to school so she'd be with me... She could be sweet too. We'd done all the house chores and since Almighty NEPA wanted us to know they were our superiors, we stayed in darkness. My mum was asleep and my dad had gone to work. So as not to feel extra bored, I played Black Eyed Peas' 'I gotta feeling' and the girl kept jumping and dancing like a monkey. My brother had had enough and begged me to stop the song as Jess wouldn't just dance but sing along with it. "Please... if you love me as much as you claim... Stop this song." He begged. I shook my head with so much emphasis. "No." "Watch and learn baby." She said dancing towards him in a strut. "What does he want to learn in your monkey dance?" I asked her. "At least...

Floyd Mayweather accuses ex-fiancée Shantel Jackson of theft. Floyd Mayweather is accusing his former fiancée Shantel Jackson of stealing “large sums of cash” during their relationship, a legal move that comes days before her domestic violence lawsuit against the boxer is due to get a trial date. The undefeated fighter made the theft claim in a cross-complaint filed this week along with his formal answer to Jackson’s 2014 lawsuit alleging assault, battery, invasion of privacy and defamation. When Jackson first sued three years ago, she accused Mayweather of choking her during an argument, pointing a gun at her head, posting a sonogram photo on Facebook and publicly accusing her of aborting their twins. Jackson and Mayweather had an 8-year romantic relationship and lived together from 2008 through 2013, the boxer’s new paperwork filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court states. Mayweather claims Jackson gained his confidence during that time and learned intimate detail...

I was cooking when he came into the kitchen. I liked it when he was around, Jude had a way of making me smile, I didn't know how he did it but he always made me smile. I was preparing rice and stew, he had said he didn't want something much so he wouldn't have to waste it. I on the other hand, had wanted making it a party for both of us... well, a farewell party for the now, he was done with school and was going to serve. I was proud of him, I wanted to celebrate it but he said no. He didn't mind celebrating it but he wanted celebrating it with just me. After I had come over, we had gone to his family house. His parents and immediate younger sister were home. She'd helped put some of his stuff together while I helped mumsy in the kitchen. His family was my family, I'd had a hard time blending in, but once I got the heat of everything, they became family, I became family. They had wanted us to stay for supper, I had turned down the offer, my excuse being that...
