Geissens Fortify Saint-Tropez Villa After June Home Invasion, Release Footage in TV Specials

Police report that DNA recovered from a wine bottle has not yet led to arrests.

Overview

  • Surveillance video shows four masked men entering through a terrace door on June 14, threatening Carmen and Robert Geiss and assaulting them in their living room.
  • Carmen recounts being choked until near unconsciousness, which reopened a recent neck wound from surgery.
  • Robert says he steered an attacker toward a cellar stairwell and called out for a housekeeper, prompting the intruders to flee.
  • The family has added extensive security features including more cameras, spiked fencing, lasers, panic buttons, and bodyguards, with daughter Davina saying the property now looks like a prison.
  • Two special episodes presenting the incident and its aftermath are streaming on RTL+, with a TV broadcast set for January 5 on RTL ZWEI, and a recent motion-sensor alarm was traced to a gardener.
