Milik's case is not the only time such a fate has befallen Napoli footballers. His partner in attack, Lorenzo Insigne, and his wife were also robbed of jewelry, cash and a watch in 2016. Even Napoli's captain, Hamsik, was robbed at gunpoint in Naples a few years ago. Their former striker, Edinson Cavani's ex-wife also faced a similar fate in 2012.
