British Millionaire Leaves Switzerland After Burglary
Published
The British millionaire Robert Gibbins is leaving Switzerland. This is what the newspaper Blick reports. The reason is a burglary at his villa in Founex in the canton of Vaud (VD).
The burglars stole a safe that weighs 200 kilograms. To carry out the theft, they also tore down interior walls in the villa. The damage to the house is therefore considerable. However, the Blick report does not give any exact figures for the damage or for the contents of the safe.
According to Blick, Gibbins is upset after the burglary. For this reason, he has decided to leave Switzerland. It is currently not known whether he will return.
The case shows that even wealthy people in Switzerland can become targets of burglaries. According to the available information, the police have opened an investigation. Further details about the perpetrators or possible arrests have not yet been published.
