Overview
- The break-in occurred at El Aynaoui’s villa in Rome’s Castel Fusano/Infernetto area, where six masked men with pistols confined him and five relatives in a room.
- The attackers forced a window grate to enter shortly after 2 a.m., and El Aynaoui called 112 at about 3:40 a.m. once they had fled.
- Thieves stole roughly €10,000 in valuables, including a Rolex, jewelry and designer bags, with victims shaken but unharmed.
- Preliminary findings indicate planning: the home alarm was not active, surveillance was disabled or moved, and the intruders wore gloves.
- Rome’s Squadra Mobile and forensic teams conducted on-site examinations and are analyzing external camera footage; it remains unclear whether the footballer was specifically targeted.
