Milik robbed at gunpoint in Naples

                                                      

Napoli striker Arkadiusz Milik was robbed at gunpoint by two men on a motorbike as he drove home from Wednesday’s Champions League 1-0 group win against Liverpool, the daily Naples-based newspaper Il Mattino reported on Thursday. The Polish striker was robbed at gunpoint and was forced to give his Rolex to the thieves who run away on a motorbike immediately after.

He was said to be driving through the Varcaturo district at around 2 a.m. when the motorbike blocked the road and forced him to stop, the report said.

One of the men pointed a gun at Milik and made him hand over a Rolex watch. Milik denounced his aggressors to the Police describing what happened at the scene: “I can’t say what kind of motorbike they were driving”, Milik told the Police according to Il Mattino.

“Both of them were wearing integral helmets and I couldn’t see their faces either. The one who was holding the gun hit the window of the car and without saying a word he pointed at the Rolex. I gave it to him, my clock was not insured. The action was so rapid that I can’t really recognize the thieves.”

“I don’t think they followed me, I think they were waiting for me close to my property. Everybody knew we were playing against Liverpool on Wednesday.”Naples police could not immediately be reached for comment.

Two years ago, Napoli forward Lorenzo Insigne, who scored the last-minute winner on Wednesday, and his wife were mugged in the city in similar circumstances.

Media reports said the robbers told Insigne to “score a goal for us” in his next match.

Team captain Marek Hamsik was robbed in 2013 as was his wife two years before that.
