Overview
- Four masked intruders broke into the Geisses' villa near Saint-Tropez and forced the couple to open safes during the night of June 14–15, 2025, according to the couple's recent RTL interview.
- Carmen Geiss showed a cut to her neck from the attack and later needed urgent brain surgery after a fall, while Robert Geiss says he was kicked in the ribs during the robbery.
- Both spouses report persistent trauma, saying they suffer nightmares, night sweats, insomnia and heightened fear in their home even after nearly a year.
- Carmen told RTL she sometimes drank heavily to try to numb the memories, and she and Robert say they have used medication to try to sleep.
- The couple have shared images and given televised interviews but the reports do not detail new arrests and say French investigators have not yet publicly caught all those involved, raising questions about security and privacy for high-profile residents.
