Napoli star robbed at gunpoint
Print Edition
NAPOLI star Lorenzo Insigne has become the latest in a long line of players from the Italian Serie A club to be robbed at gunpoint, according to reports yesterday.
Insigne, who has hit 11 league goals for Maurizio Sarri’s title-challenger this season, was returning from a dinner with friends in his car on Saturday night when armed thieves struck.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the thieves followed Insigne on two scooters before stopping his car, putting a gun to his face and robbing him and his companions of a luxury watch, cash and other valuables.
Reports elsewhere claimed one of the thieves, before fleeing the scene of the crime, told Insigne: “Dedicate a goal to me in the next match.”
Former Napoli players Valon Behrami, Juan Zuniga and current captain Marek Hamsik have all fallen victims to armed robbers in the southern city of Naples, where Napoli is based.
The incident comes as Napoli — which famously won its two league titles, in 1987 and 1990, when Argentine legend Diego Maradona was at the club — enjoys one of its strongest seasons in years.
With 12 games remaining the Azzurri sit just one point behind four-time consecutive champion Juventus.
Juventus was hosting Inter Milan yesterday in the ‘Derby d’Italia’ looking to stretch its lead to four points before Napoli goes to fourth-placed Fiorentina today.
