In connection with the three-million-euro burglary at the house belonging to former Brazil forward Ronaldo, police arrested six people in June.
Paris Saint-Germain player Marco Verratti was staying at Ronaldo’s house in Ibiza, but was not home when the burglars broke in, taking jewellery and money.
