Inter’s Bastoni burgled during Champions League, Rolex stolen | OneFootball

During the evening of Wednesday, November 5th, while Alessandro Bastoni, defender for Inter and the Italian National team, was engaged in the Champions League match against Kairat Almaty, some thieves targeted his home in Castelli Calepio, in the province of Bergamo.

Inter, theft at Bastoni's house during the Champions: Rolex and luxury bags stolen in Castelli Calepio

The incident occurred in the late afternoon, in a quiet residential area of the town overlooking Lake Iseo, while the footballer's house was temporarily empty. According to initial reconstructions, at least four criminals climbed over the main gate and managed to enter the villa through a vent of the air conditioning system.

The heist in a few minutes: "They entered through an air vent and targeted the bedroom"

As reported by Bergamonews, the thieves acted quickly and precisely. Once inside, they went directly to the sleeping area, focusing on the bedroom and the walk-in closet.

"It is in that part of the house that they found the most valuable items," investigators explain. Among the stolen goods are some high-fashion bags and two Rolex watches, but the complete inventory of the stolen items is still being defined.

The alarm system's intervention limited the time available to the criminals, who fled a few minutes after the break-in. Surveillance cameras reportedly captured four individuals dressed in dark clothing, with hats and scarves covering their faces.

Ongoing investigations: Carabinieri working to identify the gang

The alarm, which went off immediately, summoned private security and the Carabinieri of Grumello del Monte, supported by the Bergamo Operational Unit, to the scene. At the time of the theft, no one was inside the house.

Investigators are analyzing footage from the area's cameras to identify any suspicious movements before and after the heist. It is not ruled out that the thieves had been observing the villa for several days, choosing to act during the match when they knew Bastoni would not be home.

Security of footballers: an increasingly delicate issue

The theft at Bastoni's villa adds to a series of similar incidents that in recent years have involved several Serie A players, often robbed while they were on the field or away. Investigators are evaluating possible connections with other gangs specialized in targeted hits against well-known figures in the sports world.

Investigations continue with the utmost discretion, while the Bastoni family has preferred not to make official statements about the incident.
