Assaults and robberies in the homes of footballers and certain celebrities have been proliferating for years. One of the last was in the home of Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio in Seville. However, other players also suffered the blow of this type of criminals. We are talking about Johan Cruyff, Benzema or Cristiano Ronaldo.
The leader of one of these gangs of thieves sat down this Monday on the Sonsoles Ónega program, on Antena 3 Television, to tell his experience. During the unusual interview that journalist Carlos Quílez did with him, the criminal did not want to show his face – he appeared from behind – but he did explain which celebrities he had robbed and how much the loot was.
“Today exclusively the confessions of a thief of the rich and famous. The author of robberies planned to the millimeter in the homes of famous footballers and influential businessmen. Carlos Quílez has managed to speak with him and we tell them how he plans these assaults and who tips him off, which is key. This testimony is unique,” ??Sonsoles Ónega began by saying to introduce the interview with this criminal in search and capture.
“I was the one who robbed Cristiano Ronaldo’s house in Portugal,” said the boss. “Did you do it with Benzema, Karim Benzema?” Quílez wanted to know. “Not the time the person was caught, but the time when he wasn’t caught, yes,” said the guest.
The leader of this gang has been robbing homes for more than thirty years and, although he has spent years in prison and has been retired for some time, he continues to feel invincible. In fact, he is now wanted. Hence the surreality of the situation, this way of confessing how unceremoniously what his modus operandi is, how many people he is responsible for or why footballers suffer these assaults much more.
“The footballers are guilty because they claim on social networks watches worth 300,000 euros, 500,000 euros, one million… Now the price of gold has increased so much that a kilo of gold is worth more than a kilo of coca. “It’s 50 or 60 thousand euros per kilo,” he made clear.
When Quílez brought up a robbery years ago at Cristiano Ronaldo’s house on the island of Madeira, the leader of the gang confirmed the facts categorically. However, the loot “was not something to say. The value may be two million, but for sale you don’t even get 300,000 and 300,000 for four people… It’s not something that catches your attention.”
“I was the one who robbed Cristiano Ronaldo’s house in Portugal. “I was the one who robbed Johan Cruyff in Barcelona,” he clarified again. “There is no one who can stop me or anything that can resist me,” he stated with total impunity.
But this way of operating above the law would not be possible, according to the criminal, without help. And that help comes from the victim’s closest circle. “It could be your relative, it could be cleaning, it could be your enemy… You can normally charge 30% of the value,” he revealed.
At another point in the interview, the boss wanted to deny that he and his gang were responsible for the assault on Sergio Ramos and Pilar Rubio’s house. They were not the authors.
But he did recognize the biggest loot he has taken: it is 15 million euros in cash from a well-known bullfighter, whose name he did not want to say. “It was in cash, all 500 bills. He had it in three safes in the office of his farmhouse.” Here Quílez wanted to clarify that the right-hander was keeping it for a political party, which was not his.
