Returning to the country after his elimination at Roland Garros, the tennis player and his girlfriend had their belongings stolen from them at the Barcelona airport.
Federico Corianumber 71 in the world in the ATP ranking, came out of favor in the draw for Roland Garros and He fell in the first round after losing 6-2, 1-6, 2-6 and 1-6 against American Taylor Fritz. On the way back to the country, the Argentine stopped with his partner in Barcelona, where they are victim of theft that he detailed on social networks.
“They robbed us. Yesterday we arrived in Barcelona, we asked for a car in the airport parking lot. The cars here are backed up and you can’t access them with a suitcase cart. I got on board and Flor (his girlfriend) saw that someone had run away.“, He said in a video he posted on his Tik Tok account. “When we were looking for this person, I didn’t lock the car and we don’t know if someone broke in or what, but they took out my rackets. They also took my girlfriend’s backpack that she was carrying the engagement ring, his cellphone, his passport. I’m not making this video for pity but for Barcelona visitors beware“he added later.
To make matters worse, he later said they learned that robberies of this style were common in the city and he was upset that he wasn’t alerted in time.. “After the robbery, an employee at the location told me that they were stealing from that location. I told him why he didn’t tell me before.. I didn’t know that this is a common occurrence at Barcelona airport. “When I went to make a report, there were two people up front who were robbed.”, he explained. “At the airport they have cameras, but they didn’t show me anything because they need authorization from a judge. At the cell phone location we went to where it marked us and started talking an owner of the place who told us that he knew that there were people in the building who had stolen. He told us he could open it for us, but we didn’t want to risk it. Fortunately, I’m going back to the country and I’m not playing any tournaments because otherwise I wouldn’t have any rackets to play with.”complete.
