The replacement doorman for the Parisian club was kidnapped with his partner and their two young children during a burglary at their home in Yvelines on the night of Monday December 18 to Tuesday December 19.
For several years, footballers have been a prime target for criminals. At Paris-Saint-Germain, the last known victim to date was Gianluigi Donnarumma, already a goalkeeper, “tied up” by thugs at his home with his partner in the 8th arrondissement of Paris and relieved of 500,000 euros, according to the account that the Italian had made in July. Not to mention the father of Captain Marquinhos or the old winger Angel Di Maria. This time, the victim is Alexandre Letellier, 33, at the club since 2020 but far in the goalkeeper hierarchy.
The player was kidnapped with his partner and their two young children during a burglary at their home in Hadricourt (Yvelines) on the night of Monday December 18 to Tuesday December 19, according to a police source and the Versailles prosecutor’s office. Three of the four perpetrators, including two minors, were arrested, said the prosecution, which opened an investigation for extortion with weapons and kidnapping entrusted to the Versailles judicial police.
“The alarm worked perfectly”
According to initial information, the partner of the Parisian player received a blow to the face and the couple was threatened with a knife while the four burglars tried to extract money and jewelry from them. The alarm at the player’s home was triggered around 2 a.m. and the couple tried to call the police.
“The alarm worked perfectly, the police intervened very quickly, as did the club’s security service,” said a source close to the matter. “Unfortunately all major clubs are targeted by this type of attack, 100% of the criminals who attacked PSG players have been arrested,” noted a source close to the club.
