ANKARA (AA) – Liverpool star Mohamed Salah’s villa in the Egyptian capital Cairo has been broken into and robbed, according to local media on Sunday.

Al-Ahram newspaper said the Egyptian Interior Ministry has launched an investigation into the robbery of Salah’s villa in New Cairo City.

Police started interrogating the security personnel in charge and unloading the surrounding surveillance cameras.
