Raid with the Geissens: Murder attempt shakes Saint-Tropez!

In the night of Sunday there was a dramatic attack in the villa of Carmen and Robert Geiss near Saint-Tropez. Four armed and masked men violently penetrated the home of the well-known TV couple and both injured them. According to [OE24], jewelry worth around 200,000 euros was robbed, while the perpetrators aggressively demanded that the couple open their safe.

Robert Geiss, 61 years old, suffered a rib bruise in the attack, while his wife Carmen was struck and choked on his neck. The two report that they had fears of death during the attack. Carmen Geiss describes the experienced as a "shock, an earthquake", and emphasizes that the long way of processing begins. Robert Geiss described the attackers as "four armed full idiots" and emphasized that the behavior of the perpetrators could be seen as a attempted murder, which was also confirmed by a lawyer. However, the perpetrators want to put the investigators to a tough test, since criminal law experts are unsure whether there is actually an attempted murder, since this requires a fixed decision by the perpetrators, as [N-tv] reports.

Investigations run

The French investigative authorities have already initiated a procedure. Video recordings are checked and traces are secured. Blood traces are still visible in the living room and on the couch. The Geissens have appealed to the public and require full clarification of the incident. They hope for information on the identity of the perpetrators who can be reported to the responsible bodies.

Robert Geiss said that it was a targeted attack on his wife's life. Both show themselves combative and cannot be got down. Carmen Geiss added that she did not want to be defeated by this incident. This incident occurred in a country in which the murder rate has increased temporarily in recent years, from 2013 to 2023 there were a total of 1.2 killing offenses per 100,000 inhabitants in France, as can be seen from the statistics of [Statista].

The search for the perpetrators continues unabated, and the couple remains optimistic that the investigation will lead to a quick clarification.
