BARCELONA and Gabonese striker, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has been robbed and beaten in his home in Barcelona in the early hours of Monday, August 29, 2022.
According to report by El Pais, at least four men broke into his home in Castelldefels close to Barcelona through his garden and threatened him and his wife with guns and iron bars which they used to hit him repeatedly.
The report also revealed that the thieves fled by car after forcing the former Arsenal and Dortmund forward to open his safe and making off with valuables such as jewels that were inside.
A spokeswoman for Catalan police, the Mossos d’Esquadra, confirmed they were investigating a violent robbery in Castelldefels but refused to identify the victim, citing privacy rules.
“The investigation remains open and we are gathering information,” she told AFP.
Aubameyang, who joined Barcelona in February from Arsenal after reportedly having fallen out with Gunners manager, Mikel Arteta, due to disciplinary breaches has been linked to a move to Chelsea which could be concluded before the end of the transfer window.
