The security cameras installed inside the house recorded the violent robbery.
“We had just returned from a trip to Germany. My wife and I were in the living room, watching television, and we heard a noise. We looked at the camera in the children’s room and saw that they were sleeping and everything was normal. So, I went up to the top floor to see them, but I heard noise on the terrace from our bedroom. As I approached the window, someone began to give blows on the glass with a kind of mace“, Mustafi recalled in his statement, to which OPEN CASE has agreed.
panic button
“I yelled at my wife to call the police and I ran to the children’s roomI took them both in my arms and went down to look for my wife, who already had activated the panic button of the alarm. I went to leave my children in the game room, but I ran into two intruders, one of them he was armed with a mace and prevented me from closing the door. He threatened me and told me: ‘come and turn off the alarm’, I entered two wrong codes,” the player continues.
Then, according to his account, one of the assailants went to the kitchen to open the door for a third thief who was waiting in the garden. The three assailants forced Mustafi and his wife to go up to his room and, while two of them They “immobilized” the footballer, “holding him tight from behind and covering his mouth with his hand so he wouldn’t speak”the third “coerced and intimidated” his wife to open a safe that the couple had hidden in a closet: “One of the assailants shouted: ‘Where are they? Where are they?’ (possibly alluding to jewelry), I replied that we didn’t have any at home.”
Locked in the game room
The Levante defender explained that “one of the thieves took some jewelry that was in a chest of drawers in the room and another insisted on my wife to open the safeI don’t know how they could have known of its existence. Frightened, she opened it.gave them only cash and a box with three watches and tried to close the box, but it was impossible. They didn’t let her go down with the children until they took all the jewelry and documentation that we had saved.”
When they had already seized all the loot, which according to the documentation of the case amounts to €1,200,000, the three assailants directed Mustafi and his family into the children’s playroom, locked them there and instructed them not to call the police. Before, the soccer player’s wife had managed to get hold of a Mobile phonewith which he asked the police for help as soon as the thieves fled.
They bypassed the alarm sensors
The investigations of the Civil Guard allowed us to find out that the thieves managed to enter the chalet, which is protected on its front and side by a wall 1.80 centimeters high, through the back, jumping a chain link fence that separates the house from a golf course. Once inside the farm, the assailants went up to the terrace of the main bedroom using a ladder which they stole from a house under construction near Mustafi’s house. Once there, they broke the window glass with a sledgehammer.
The security company hired by the player and his family to protect his chalet attributes the violent robbery to “professional criminals” after learning a disturbing fact: the thieves entered the house for areas where the sensors to detect the presence of intruders “they were not effective”. That’s why the alarm didn’t go off.
