Overview
- The break-in took place in the afternoon of June 8 on Via Gregoriana while Ferrero and his family were out, with the thieves verifying the apartment was empty by ringing the doorbell first.
- The group made off with jewelry, at least ten high-end handbags, cash and sports memorabilia including Francesco Totti’s shirt, for a loss estimated at over €300,000.
- Police from the Trevi district and Carabinieri units have secured surveillance footage showing three women (one possibly pregnant) and a mustachioed man, and are examining images to identify the suspects.
- Early findings indicate the intruders entered via a door linking to an unused B&B room and deactivated the home alarm before ransacking the premises.
- Ferrero, who suffered a similar theft in 2015, has criticized local security and urged authorities to bolster patrols after officers were assigned to referendum polling duties.
