Overview

  • Around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, two men on a T-Max scooter forced Zanoni to the ground outside his Le Chesnay residence, kicking him and seizing his Richard Mille watch valued at about €150,000.
  • The 49-year-old chef filed a complaint for aggravated theft at the Versailles police station after sustaining minor injuries and bruises.
  • Surveillance cameras recorded the suspects’ escape along the A13 motorway, providing investigators with crucial leads.
  • Investigators have launched a formal inquiry, but the scooter-riding perpetrators remain unidentified and at large.
  • The attack echoes a May 2022 home-jacking of Zanoni’s residence that resulted in prison sentences of five to nine years for six convicted assailants in December 2024.
