Alexander Isak Burglars Ordered to Repay Only £1 Per Person from £1.2m Heists
Individuals of an Italy-based family of thieves who took over £1.2 million valued of items, among them from former Newcastle United forward Alexander Isak, have been mandated to return just £1 per person.
Brothers Valentino and Giacomo Nikolov, their sister Jela and her son Charlie Jovanovic travelled to the northeastern of the UK to raid multiple homes in spring 2024.
The group of four were imprisoned for between a decade or less in May 2025.
At a criminal assets hearing at Newcastle Crown Court, Jela Jovanovic and the brothers Nikolov were instructed to pay back £1 per person while Charlie must pay £1,135.
Details of the Break-ins
The judge previously heard the group came by boat in the United Kingdom on March 27, 2024 and used a RV as their "base of operations", which they parked at Scotch Corner and Durham service service stations while utilizing a separate vehicle to search for properties and execute burglaries.
On March 31 they took more than one million pounds of items including high-end fashion, purses, jewelry and a CBE medal from a house on Clayton Road in Jesmond, while the owners were away.
The next evening, the crew entered a home on a gated cul-de-sac in Whitburn, and took luxury bags, valuables and footwear valued at more than £100,000.
After scouting out Newcastle United's training ground for 48 hours, they then acted at the home of Swedish striker Mr Isak in Darras Hall on April 4, taking ten thousand pounds in money, £68,000 valued of jewellery and the player's £120,000 Audi RS6.
The gang, who were portrayed by prosecutors as experienced itinerant thieves, wore hand coverings and masks, switched their phones on silent as they neared their targets and strapped a license plate, which had been stolen from a auto shop in a town, on to their car with rubber straps.
They were arrested in the Birmingham area on 13 April.
Court Proceedings and Rulings
Valentino had denied the burglary plot but was found guilty by jurors, while his family members had all entered admissions to the same charge.
At the proceeds of crime session, lawyer the prosecution said every one of the burglars had benefited from their crimes to the value of £1,266,285.93, which was based on what the victims said they had lost.
But Charlie was the sole individual found to have any funds that could be "recovered", namely over a thousand pounds which had already been seized by authorities, the judge heard, with two weeks to be served in prison if he defaulted.
The remaining members had no money or property so were ordered to make a token amount of £1 each, with one week in prison the result if the sum was not submitted.
Judge Spragg said if they were discovered with property in the future, "for example operating in Italy in a sports car or possessing a home", the prosecution could seek new proceedings to "recover the amount outstanding".
