Superstar Lionel Messi currently resides in a hotel in Paris. This has now been the scene of an attack.
The Paris hotel “Le Royal Monceau-Raffles”, in which Lionel Messi from Paris Saint-Germain currently resides, was the scene of a robbery. The French and English media report.
Two masked perpetrators had gained access to the sixth floor via the roof and an unlocked balcony door. One floor below, Messi resides in a suite with his family. A total of four rooms are said to have been robbed and thousands of euros and jewelry stolen.
A few weeks ago the superstar moved with his wife Antonela and their three children Thiago, Mateo and Ciro to the posh hostel near the Arc de Triomphe. Because the hotel has been besieged by fans since then, the security precautions have been tightened again. Apparently that couldn’t keep the thieves from their coup.
Messi wants to move out of the hotel soon
The English tabloid newspaper The Sun quotes one victim: “If you pay a fortune for a chic and safe hotel and then someone comes into your room, it is very worrying. The police told us that they saw two men on the surveillance cameras with a bag on the roof, but they couldn’t identify her. “
Messi has not yet commented on the incident. French media report that the PSG star has now struck gold when looking for a house and will soon be moving out of the “Le Royal Monceau-Raffles”, which, according to the hotel, is the “most glamorous palace in Paris”.
