The victims were held captive for at least an hour before they managed to escape and find refuge in a hotel close to their residence. The hotel employees reportedly took care of the duo and alerted the local authorities. Donnarumma and his girlfriend were later admitted to the hospital for medical checks.
A robbery and assault investigation has been opened by the Gendarmerie, particularly the Brigade de répression du banditisme, a division of the Paris Judicial Police.
This is not the first incident of PSG players ending up as victims of home robberies. Angel Di Maria, Mauro Icardi Thiago Silva, and others have also been on the receiving end of such damage.
