  • An investigation into the violent 2023 robbery of Gianluigi Donnarumma and his partner in Paris has uncovered an alleged criminal organization linked to two prisoners.
  • The raid, reportedly worth €2 million, targeted the PSG goalkeeper’s apartment on Avenue Montaigne.
  • One of the alleged organizers was later found hanged in his prison cell.

In the summer of 2023, Gianluigi Donnarumma, then Paris Saint-Germain’s goalkeeper, and his partner were violently robbed in their apartment on Paris’s Avenue Montaigne. The raid reportedly involved €2 million in stolen goods or valuables.

The investigation has since exposed what authorities describe as a broad organization operating under the control of two dangerous inmates. From prison, the two men allegedly recruited the people who carried out the robbery and kept them under threat.

The case took a darker turn when one of the alleged organizers was found hanged in his cell. The investigation now lays bare the prison links behind a high-profile home-jacking that targeted one of football’s best-known players.
