Overview
- Deputy prosecutor Laurence Barriquand in Draguignan told dpa that three suspects are in pre‑trial detention in connection with the June 2025 raid on the Geissens’ villa.
- Authorities say the probe remains ongoing as they look for further participants and potential backers of the armed break‑in.
- Masked intruders threatened and injured Carmen and Robert Geiss during the robbery, fleeing with valuables reported at roughly €200,000.
- The family has reinforced security with more guards, upgraded alarms, reinforced fencing, and 32 cameras, and Carmen now wears a wrist panic button that summons police.
- RTLZWEI aired a 90‑minute special on January 5 featuring surveillance footage and the family’s account, with a separate 15th‑anniversary episode scheduled for January 12.
