POLICE have arrested three men in connection to the burglary of Angel Di Maria’s family home.
It was reported by L’Equipe on Tuesday morning the trio were brought into custody for questioning.
The men targeted Di Maria’s house in March while the Paris Saint-Germain footballer was playing against Nantes, stealing £425,000 worth of jewellery and watches.
Manager Mauricio Pochettino, on the touchline, was in contact with sporting director Leonardo who informed him of the break-in.
And moments later he withdrew the ex-Manchester United man, who went down the tunnel and quickly left the stadium in tears.
Di Maria is married to Jorgelina and the couple have two young children.
The three were at the property in the Neuilly-sur-Seine region when the terrifying incident took place.
It was reported Jorgelina found a box in a wardrobe had been ransacked with the robbers snatching the expensive luxury accessories.
The three suspects, aged between 25 and 30, are also being questioned in relation to a separate attempted break-in of Julian Draxler’s home, report Get French Football News.
These are just two recent examples of PSG players targetted by robbers.
The family home of Brazilian defender Marquinhos was raided on the same night as Di Maria’s.
Mauro Icardi got burgled in February while playing in an away clash against Lorient.
Thiago Silva, Dani Alves and Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting have also been the victims of break-ins while at the club, who are now reportedly funding 24-hour security for its stars in wake of the spate of attacks.
Di Maria’s house was also targeted by robbers in 2015 while he was playing for Manchester United.
