The scandal surrounding the robbery at the home of legendary goalkeeper Iker Casillas continues to escalate. The former footballer filed a police report about the disappearance of several luxury watches, with a total value exceeding €200,000. The main suspects in the case turned out to be people from his inner circle: his housekeeper and her partner, who worked as a security guard at the residential complex.
The method of the crime proved to be quite sophisticated. According to investigators, the couple swapped the original watches for almost identical replicas, intending to sell the genuine ones. However, the scheme quickly fell apart. Casillas immediately noticed the substitution and contacted law enforcement. Police responded swiftly, and within four days, the suspects were detained. It was revealed that they had planned to leave the country with the money from the sale.
The security guard, who is the main figure in the case, has already confessed. In his public statement, he tried to justify his actions by citing financial hardship and mounting debts. He claimed he had no malicious intent and took only two watches, not five as the victim alleges. He also tried to clear his partner, who worked for Casillas, stating that she only showed him where the valuables were kept.
Iker Casillas himself responded to the thief’s confession with sharp and uncompromising words. The former athlete expressed deep outrage and sarcasm at the attempts to justify the theft. He made it clear that he had spotted the forgery from the start and immediately handed the matter over to his lawyers, refusing to waste his own time on it. Casillas also confirmed that the housekeeper would never work for him again. He wondered rhetorically how anyone could think he wouldn’t notice the swap and added that the three missing watches couldn’t have simply vanished into thin air.
This story was also a heavy blow for the footballer’s ex-wife, journalist Sara Carbonero. It turned out that the accused woman had worked in her home for many years as well, enjoying total trust. Sources close to Carbonero report that she is in shock and deeply shaken by what happened. On the advice of those around her, she has decided not to make any public statements and to remain silent, leaving Iker to handle the legal details of this delicate case. For her, it was a true betrayal by someone she considered almost family.
