According to Tuttosport, one of the credible news sources in Italy, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Antonio Cassano and Rodney Strasser have been arrested last night for armed robbery, manslaughter and murder, at around 00:45CET after the robbers’ resistance led to quite a fierce shooting exchanged between them and the local police.
Also a fourth associate, who’s been operating as the designated driver, has apparently made it out of the scene following a short car chase.
The club hierarchy have since issued silence and are reportedly in an emergency session to discuss the controversy around the club. Adriano Galliani avoided the press as he rushed in the club’s HQ, while the Police refuses to comment until ‘further investigations take place'.
Based on what the mic-equipped security cameras have recorded, the Italy international has been the mastermind behind the robbery, with the Sweden and Sierraleon men as sidekicks in what turned into a massive shootout between the intruders and the local policemen.
The leaked videos of the incident have been viewed by over 3 million YouTube visitors around the world, and even though the now-infamous men were using strange masks, their difference in body shape and color skin is what helps identify the men involved.
The reported conversations are as follows:
Shop Clerk: What the h... Alberto, the alarm! The alarm!
Cassano: [Punches the clerk] nobody moves a muscle! I swear to god I will easily shoot anybody trying to be a hero. Where’s the packet R?
Strasser: The packet? It was Zlatan’s job to bring it in and collect the money, I’m in charge of keeping people in check!
Ibrahimovic: [Kicks Strasser in the back] Why should you reveal my full name you bum! We were supposed to call one another by the first letter of our first name!
[Strasser looks blank]
Cassano: [While aiming at the cashier] What’s done is done! Let’s finish it.
[Strasser empties a clip on the cashier with his automatic weapon]
[Ibrahimovic's eyes are wide, wide open staring at the cashier and then Strasser]
Cassano: [kneels down] What did you do? What did you do? What di… We’re done! We’re gonna do life! We killed a man, man! We… No…
Strasser: But you said we should finish it! Didn’t you mean the cashier?
[Ibrahimovic chuckles and weirdly talks to himself]
Cassano: [stands up and finds back his mind] Alright, fuck it. Don’t worry, Rod, I’ll take care of you later. For now, you’re safe.
Strasser: Cool. We should get the money now!
Cassano: What are you, Tolstoy or some thinker? Shut up and let me lead my professional crew.
Ibrahimovic: Professional we are!
Cassano: Now, I want all the cash on the counter. No game.
