The residence of former Olimpia footballer Alejandro "Ale" Silva in Luque, Paraguay, was targeted in a home invasion while Silva and his family were away on vacation in Brazil. The thieves made off with cash and valuable personal items.
According to the police report, the theft was discovered by Silva's driver, Vรญctor Hugo Delgado Nรบรฑez, who visited the property to check on it and feed a pet.
