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

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

This was not, however, an isolated incident. In May, Jan Bednarek was also the target of a similar burglary. The centre-back had left home with his family and, upon returning, came across five individuals on the property. Threatened with a knife, he then watched the thieves flee with jewelry and watches worth approximately €150,000.

Barcelona, PSG and Roma have also had players burgled

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 suspected of having burgled 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’ habits through people in close contact with the athletes. It then sends four or five members to the city where the targeted player lives.
