It’s a recurring phenomenon that affects footballers and it doesn’t seem like it’s going to stop. All over Europe, football stars are victims of burglaries, whether in Paris, where several PSG players have been targeted, as well as in England, where David Beckham has been targeted. Known for their astronomical salaries and their love for luxurious objects, the latter are prime targets for burglars and a new well-known player has just had the bitter experience of this. Former player of AS Saint-Étienne, passed by Arsenal in England, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang now lives in Barcelona, Spain.
If his future should be written outside of Catalonia, the 33-year-old player still lives at home, in Castelldefels, in the suburbs of Barcelona. According to information from the Spanish daily El Paísthe athlete was victim of a very violent burglary last night. At least four men would have entered the garden of his property before entering the house and threaten with firearms as well as iron bars. Police sources also indicated that Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang received beatings from his attackers.
Burglars break into the safe and leave with jewelry
In addition to the FC Barcelona player, the four men also allegedly attacked the player’s wifeAlysha Behague, before managing to open the safe in the house, taking several valuable jewels. The burglars then fled and according to several witnesses, they left in a white Audi A3. According to information from our colleagues, the scene took place around 1 a.m. on the night of Sunday to Monday and the police are now looking for the criminals.
A situation that we imagine very traumatic for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and his family, since in general, the kidnappers wait until the footballers are not at home to enter the house. Moreover, this is unfortunately not the first time that such a thing has happened to him, since he experienced a similar event in 2013 when he lived in Saint-Étienne. For now, neither the player nor his family have spoken publicly.
