Moments of terror for Alain Prost, victim of a violent robbery in his villa in Nyon, on Lake Geneva. The Swiss newspaper Blick broke the news according to which a gang of criminals broke into the home of the former Formula 1 world champion last Tuesday around 8.30 in the morning, attacking the Frenchman and forcing one of his sons to open the safe.
Head trauma for the former Formula 1 champion
The former pilot reportedly suffered a head injury following the attack. The value of the loot was not disclosed, but it is assumed to be very high.
The family has not released official statements, but the episode would have had a strong emotional impact, so much so that it required the intervention of a support team.
The robbers fleeing towards France
The searches by the Swiss police, including checkpoints and checks on the main road arteries, did not lead to the arrest of those responsible, who according to investigators fled to France. According to Blick, Prost is currently returning to Dubai, where he lives for most of the year.
