Guard Foils Intrusion at Roma Defender Wesley’s Villa During Brazil Duty

The episode reflects a spate of attempts on footballers’ homes in Rome this year.

Overview

  • Intruders entered the garden of Wesley’s Casal Palocco property around 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and reached the area near his parked Audi.
  • A neighborhood security guard spotted the suspects and drove them off before they could access the house, then alerted the Carabinieri.
  • Officers from the Casal Palocco station responded to the scene, and no arrests have been reported.
  • Early accounts said items were taken from the car, but the player’s staff told Roma Today that no belongings were missing from the home or vehicle.
  • Wesley was in South America with Brazil for World Cup qualifiers, and the case echoes recent thefts affecting Roma and Lazio players such as Zaccagni, Mexès, Smalling, Panucci, Džeko and Vecino.
