Football player Ihattaren (21) arrested in Amsterdam, house in Vleuten searched by police | Interior

It would be an assault, but the police would not confirm that. “But you don’t just get arrested. This is about someone who often does something,” says a spokesperson. It is not clear whether anything was found in Ihattaren’s home. According to the police, this is an ‘additional search’. “That often happens when someone is suspected of such a criminal offense.”

Ihattaren’s lawyer Sander Janssen does not want to comment at this time. The professional footballer is currently detained and the question is whether he will be sent to court or whether he will remain in custody for longer.

The former PSV and Ajax player, who celebrated his 21st birthday on the day of his arrest, will be questioned on Monday and is still in custody. It is not yet clear what exactly happened. Ihattaren has been in trouble for some time. The former PSV player did not play for Ajax for a long time last year because of threats to his address. They would stem from his relationship with influencer Yasmine Driouech. In September, just after he got engaged to her, Ihattaren’s gray Porsche Panamera burned down in Utrecht.

They have since separated and the footballer has been under the care of Wesley Sneijder for some time. He took his hands off the footballer again after two weeks, because he did not keep to the agreements. ,,It’s not really going well, no, it’s going to be a difficult story,” said Sneijder, who had big plans with Ihattaren.

In any case, this new incident is unrelated to his previous arrest for a threat in November. Ihattaren made a statement about that threat, his lawyer Sander Janssen stated at the time. It would be a ‘case from some time ago that is still under investigation by the police’. According to Janssen, the former PSV player had an ‘eventful period’, but he had recently ‘found his way back up’.

Ihattaren went through the PSV youth academy before making the switch to Juventus in the summer of 2021. The Italian club rented the left leg directly to Sampdoria, where he soon left. He then arrived at Ajax with a large training backlog, with the intention of making something of his career again.

The Utrechter started the preparation for the season promisingly, but due to private reasons he did not come to the club for a long time. Ihattaren would be threatened by criminals because of his relationship with a young woman. He would also maintain close ties with other criminals.

Ajax, the police and Ihattaren’s agent never wanted to respond to those messages. Ihattaren is currently under contract with Juventus. However, the 20-year-old from Utrecht does not appear in Allegri’s plans.
