Media outlet R7 reported that the trio had insisted on the whereabouts of Biancardi and their young daughter. Biancardi said on Instagram that she and her daughter are no longer in the house.
Online news outlet G1 reported that Bianautomobiledi’s parents were bound and gagged, and that the attackers fled with luxury handbags, watches and jewelry. Security camera footage revealed that the getaway car belonged to a neighbor, who told the government he had lent it to his son. The 20-year-old temporarily located himself and confessed to the robbery, G1 reported.
“Material things are being recovered, the question is that everyone is well and that the others affected are found,” Biancardi wrote. Neymar also lamented the attack on his own Instagram account without offering further details.
