Several Suspects Detained in Geissens' Villa Robbery Case

French authorities pursue remaining leads under a judge, with the family turning to heightened security and a televised retelling.

Overview

  • Robert Geiss said the couple’s French lawyer confirmed shortly before year’s end that several suspects were taken into custody, with the investigation still active.
  • Prosecutors in the Draguignan/Saint-Tropez region are continuing inquiries under an investigating judge, and no full public list of charges or court dates has been released.
  • The June 2025 home invasion near Saint-Tropez involved masked, armed assailants, injuries to both Carmen and Robert, and a theft reported at roughly €200,000.
  • The family has reinforced their property with more cameras, additional alarms, perimeter upgrades, hired security, and personal panic buttons, including one Carmen now wears at the villa.
  • RTLZWEI scheduled two 15-year specials for the series, with a January 5 broadcast focusing on the break-in using previously unseen surveillance footage and a January 12 jubilee episode from Dubai.
