Napoli is back in the spotlight for a new theft episode, this time at Alisson Santos' residence in Giugliano. The discovery of a valuable object has brought to light a long series of robberies and thefts which, in recent years, have affected players and families of the Neapolitan club.
In 2024, in a few weeks, several cases of robbery were reported: David Neres was robbed of a Rolex worth 100,000 euros after the Napoli-Parma match, JuanJesus suffered an attempted theft of his car and Matteo Politano lost his Smart. KhvichaKvaratskhelia, in his first season with the blue shirt, was also the victim of a theft in the villa in Cuma, where the thieves took the key to the Mini Countryman and left with the car, forcing him to change residence. The technician Luciano Spalletti lost a Panda.
Among the most serious episodes is the robbery of Lorenzo Insigne in 2016, when two men on a scooter pointed a gun at him and took away a Rolex, cash and diamond bracelets. A similar situation was described by ArkadiuszMilik, who was forced to hand over his watch at gunpoint. In December 2008 MarekHamsik was robbed in Fuorigrotta, suffering the loss of a purse containing 700 euros and a Rolex; three years later his wife Martina's BMWX6 was stolen and subsequently found in Giugliano. ValonBehrami suffered two robberies, one of them with a gun pointed at his head, an event that contributed to his decision to leave the club.
Other cases of theft have involved players such as MarceloZalayeta, EdinsonCavani, FedericoFernandez, Zuniga, LuigiSepe and Allan, as well as families of footballers. Cavani's wife, MariaSoledad, was robbed of an 18,000 euro Piaget, while YaninaScrepante, EzequielLavezzi's partner, lost a Rolex and a diamond bracelet.
The Alisson Santos episode fits into this context of violence that has affected Napoli in recent years. The club and the authorities are investigating the incident, while the players and their families are calling for greater security for their homes. The future remains uncertain, but Serie A and the Neapolitan club are preparing to react to prevent similar events from happening again.
