Ajax captain Dusan Tadic was attacked by two robbers at his house in Amsterdam South at the end of July. Writing that The Telegraph and The Parool Wednesday. The police suspect that the suspects had “specifically targeted the victim”. The footballer was slightly injured in the robbery, but did not miss any matches, and played against PSV for the Johan Cruijff scale on July 30, among other things.
In the night of July 27 to 28, the 33-year-old Amsterdammer was “presumably waiting” by two dark-clad men with helmets on, the police writes, who do not confirm that it is Tadic. When he parked his car and got out, he saw the men and ran away. He was chased and eventually a struggle ensued, with the footballer “quite resisting”.
Tadic managed to escape and fled into a catering facility with torn clothes. The two men drove off on a scooter, without loot. De Telegraaf writes that the two were probably after a “precious watch” of the footballer. Earlier, two men with helmets would have rang the doorbell at his house. Tadic’s wife was suspicious and didn’t answer. Police are still looking for the suspects.
In recent years, more footballers have been targeted by robbers. During a lawsuit against the so-called Rolex gang, it turned out two years ago that they had plans to attack Tadic, and also football players Steven Bergwijn and Siem de Jong. Last year, the wife and children of footballer Eran Zahavi, who then played for PSV, were tied up during a robbery at their home in Amsterdam. The police have not yet found the perpetrators.
