Jewelry and cash worth more than half a million euros were stolen from the home of the Swiss international and the Brazilian in the city of Turin. This was reported by the Italian media with reference to the police.

The two had only moved together from England to the Italian first division club Juventus Turin in the summer. According to the information, the burglary took place in one of the better residential areas of the northern Italian city on Saturday evening, when Juventus Turin were playing against Lazio Rome in the men's Serie A.

According to initial investigations, the jewelry was not in a safe, but spread across several drawers. In addition, the alarm system is said to have malfunctioned.

Lehmann has so far played 54 times for the Swiss women's national team. In the summer, she and Luiz left their former club Aston Villa for Turin. The Brazilian has played 18 times for his national team.
