South American gang stole about €250,000 from Deniz Gül's home | OneFootball

Deniz Gul, FC Porto forward, was the victim of a home robbery on Sunday morning while he was away at the team’s training camp ahead of the match against Alverca. The burglars reportedly entered the building, forced open the apartment door, and stole cash, watches, and jewelry worth around 250,000 euros, according to Jornal de Notícias.

This was not, however, an isolated incident. In May, Jan Bednarek was also targeted in a similar robbery. The center-back had left home with his family and, upon returning, came face to face with five individuals on the property. Threatened with a knife, he then watched the thieves flee with jewelry and watches worth approximately 150,000 euros.

Barcelona, PSG, and Roma players have also been robbed

According to information gathered by Jornal de Notícias from the PSP, the two crimes may have been carried out by the same suspects. Authorities believe they belong to an organized group that is also thought to have robbed players from clubs such as Barcelona in Spain, PSG in France, and Roma in Italy.

The police say the group, made up of Colombian nationals based in Spain, obtains information about footballers’ routines through people who have close contact with the athletes. It then sends four or five members to the city where the selected player lives.
