Alaba would have no connection beyond that with the coup d’état
However, it is something really surprising considering that Alaba is also Austrian
David Alaba finds himself, along with his family, experiencing one of the strangest moments of his life. The father-in-law of the Real Madrid footballer is in custody after the failed coup attempt that has been experienced in recent days in Germany by sectors of the extreme right aligned through the Internet. The player, an Austrian, is waiting to find out what the status of his mother-in-law is and what role she had in the coup.
David Alaba’s father-in-law was called Frank Heppner and, according to Cuatro, he could be part of the group of neo-Nazis who wanted to take control of Germany led by a former military man. In principle, Alaba’s father-in-law was a cook and his role would have been supply food to the military wing of the coup. Unfortunately, the situation has involved the footballer who has no ideological ties to his mother-in-law.
Heppner would have been in custody since last Wednesday and the police have registered their properties, including a luxury hotel in Germany. The soccer player could travel with his family in the next few days to see the detainee.
