Alexander Isak Robbers Instructed to Repay Only £1 Each from £1.2 Million Heists
Members of an Italian family of thieves who took more than £1.2 million worth of items, including from former NUFC forward Isak, have been mandated to pay back only £1 per person.
Brothers Valentino and Giacomo Nikolov, their female sibling Jela Jovanovic and her son Charlie journeyed to the northeastern of England to raid multiple homes in April 2024.
The foursome were imprisoned for between six and 10 years in May 2025.
At a criminal assets proceeding at the court, Jela and the brothers Nikolov were instructed to repay £1 each while Charlie Jovanovic must hand over over a thousand pounds.
Particulars of the Break-ins
The court was told the group came by boat in the UK on 27 March 2024 and employed a RV as their "base of operations", which they stationed at Scotch Corner and Durham service service stations while using a separate vehicle to scout out targets and execute thefts.
On March 31 they took over one million pounds of goods such as designer clothing, purses, jewelry and a CBE medal from a residence on a street in Jesmond, while the owners were away.
The next evening, the gang entered a home on a gated cul-de-sac in Whitburn, South Tyneside, and stole designer handbags, jewellery and footwear valued at over one hundred thousand pounds.
Following surveillance of Newcastle United's facility for 48 hours, they then struck at the residence of Swedish player Mr Isak in Darras Hall, Ponteland on 4 April, stealing ten thousand pounds in cash, sixty-eight thousand pounds worth of jewellery and the striker's £120,000 Audi RS6.
The gang, who were portrayed by prosecutors as professional touring burglars, used hand coverings and face coverings, turned their mobile devices on silent as they approached their targets and strapped a number plate, which had been stolen from a auto shop in Chester-le-Street, on to their vehicle with elastic bands.
They were apprehended in the Birmingham on April 13.
Court Hearings and Sentencing
Valentino Nikolov had denied conspiracy to burglary but was found guilty by the court, while his three relations had all submitted guilty pleas to the identical accusation.
At the criminal gains session, lawyer the prosecution said each of the burglars had benefited from their crimes to the amount of £1,266,285.93, which was determined by what the affected parties said they had lost.
But Charlie was the sole individual found to have any money that could be "recovered", namely over a thousand pounds which had already been seized by police, the court heard, with 14 days to be served in jail if he defaulted.
The other three had no money or assets so were directed to make a token amount of £1 each, with seven days in prison the result if the money was not submitted.
The judge Robert Spragg said if they were discovered with property in the future, "for example driving around in Italy in a sports car or possessing a home", the prosecution could seek further action to "satisfy the sum due".
