Did he start filming to immortalize the trick he was playing on the PSG goalkeeper?
We will no doubt find out during his trial next May.
Still, the burglar of Sergio Rico can seriously consider another professional career.
This 17-year-old high school student, domiciled in Paris (XXth), was arrested Tuesday morning in his school for a burglary committed on November 13 in the XVIIIth at the home of the Spanish porter, according to information from the JDD that we were able to confirm.
Betrayed by his DNA, the famous video where he films himself with a sock in his hand at the scene of his crime, and the memory of his victims, he confessed.
And he was released pending trial.
A booty of 35,000 euros
On the day of the burglary, the PSG substitute goalkeeper, who since January 2022 has been on loan to the Mallorca club (Spain), returns home with his partner around 1:45 p.m.
As he opens the door to his apartment, a man whose face is partly concealed by a surgical mask rushes out onto the landing to flee.
Sergio Rico, renowned for his reflexes on his goal line, manages to catch him by the backpack.
But the climber abandons him and manages to escape.
The loot, four watches and jewelry, amounts to around 35,000 euros.
The case is very easy for the investigators of the 1st DPJ.
Because in the backpack, all that was missing was the high school student's business card.
Otherwise, there were DNA-filled personal effects like his toothbrush, his phone, the tools that allowed him to break a window to get in.
And, on the banister, there is also the famous sock.
To top it off, the loot was also in the bag.
Already known for similar facts
During their investigation, the police then pass the phone to their colleagues who specialize in cybercrime.
The latter discover the video where the burglar films himself.
In the DNA files, the burglar's DNA matched.
He is a Parisian teenager known to the police for the same facts.
He finally admitted to having passed through the roofs to access the bedroom.
Sergio Rico had already been the victim of a burglary at the start of 2021 in Neuilly-sur-Seine (Hauts-de-Seine) while he was playing at the Parc des Princes.
A great classic, alas, for the players of the champion club of France.
In March 2021, the homes, however very secure, of the Argentinian Angel Di Maria and the father of the Brazilian Marquinhos had been visited the same evening.
