Members of an Italy-based clan of burglars who stole more than £1.2 million valued of items, among them from ex- NUFC forward Alexander Isak, have been mandated to pay back just £1 per person.

Brothers Valentino and Giacomo, their female sibling Jela Jovanovic and her child Charlie travelled to the northeastern of England to raid three houses in April 2024.

The group of four were jailed for from six and 10 years in 2025.

At a criminal assets hearing at the court, Jela and the Nikolov brothers were instructed to repay £1 per person while Charlie Jovanovic must hand over £1,135.

Particulars of the Burglaries

The court previously heard the group came by ferry in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2024 and employed a RV as their "headquarters", which they parked at a service area and Durham rest stops while utilizing another car to search for properties and execute thefts.

On 31 March they took more than one million pounds of items such as designer clothing, handbags, jewelry and a CBE medal from a house on Clayton Road in Jesmond, Newcastle, while the residents were on holiday.

The next evening, the gang entered a house on a private road in Whitburn, and took designer handbags, jewellery and shoes valued at over £100,000.

After scouting out the football club's training ground for 48 hours, they then acted at the residence of Sweden striker Alexander Isak in Darras Hall on April 4, stealing £10,000 in money, £68,000 worth of jewellery and the player's one hundred twenty thousand pound luxury car.

The group, who were portrayed by the prosecution as experienced touring burglars, used hand coverings and masks, turned their phones off as they neared their targets and attached a license plate, which had been taken from a auto shop in a town, on to their vehicle with elastic bands.

They were arrested in the Birmingham area on April 13.

Court Hearings and Sentencing

Valentino had denied conspiracy to burglary but was found guilty by jurors, while his family members had all entered guilty pleas to the same charge.

At the proceeds of crime session, prosecutor the prosecution said every one of the burglars had profited from their offenses to the value of £1,266,285.93, which was determined by what the victims said they had lost.

But Charlie was the sole individual found to have any money that could be "realised", specifically over a thousand pounds which had already been seized by police, the judge was informed, with 14 days to be spent in prison if he defaulted.

The remaining members had no money or assets so were directed to pay a nominal fee of £1 each, with seven days in incarceration the result if the money was not submitted.

Judge Robert Spragg said if they were discovered with property in the coming years, "for example operating Italy in a fast car or owning a home", prosecutors could initiate further action to "recover the sum due".
