The parents of Neymar’s girlfriend Bruna Bianciardi were involved in an attempted kidnapping of their newborn daughter in Sao Paulo.
The Bianciardi residence, located in the municipality of Cotia, was attacked by a criminal gang on Tuesday.
Newspaper R7 reports (via Marca) that the suspects, two of whom were armed, were looking for Bianciardi and the couple’s daughter, Mavie. Neither was home at the time of the invasion, and neither was Neymar.
However, Bianciardi’s parents were on the scene when the suspects burst in. R7 reports the pair were trapped in their own home, but are not believed to have been injured in the attack.
Images uploaded by Brazil’s Municipal Civil Guard (GCM) show three suspects arriving at the house in a car. The GCM revealed that an individual, currently in custody, lives in the same condominium as the Bianciardis, giving him access to carry out the invasion.
This suspect remains the only one arrested by authorities. The other two managed to flee the scene after stealing several of Bianciardi’s belongings, including luxury handbags, watches and jewelry.
Globo reports that the second perpetrator has been identified but not arrested, while the third is still on the run.
Neymar, who recently underwent knee surgery, expressed regret about the event hours later on Instagram.
