According to RTL, a man was taken into custody. He is suspected of having participated in the robbery of Johnny Hallyday's villa in Marnes-la-Coquette.

A man has been placed in custody, says RTL. He is suspected of having participated in the robbery of "La Savannah", the villa owned by Johnny Hallyday in Marnes-la-Coquette, in the Hauts-de-Seine. This is where the singer died on the night of December 5 to 6, 2017.

Acquired by "the idol of young people" and his wife Laeticia in 1999, this villa of 900 m2 was completely renovated in 2010. It has a cinema room, six bedrooms, a swimming pool and a tennis court.

"Loaded with memories"

Laeticia, who had not been back since her husband's death, went to the house the same day as Johnny's posthumous album was released on October 19th. "It's very difficult to come back to France for the first time without him; it's a vertiginous trip , " she said the next day at the microphone of Marc-Olivier Fogiel on RTL. "This house in Marne-la-Coquette is full of memories, those of the past few months have been nothing but despair, anxiety and fear. This return I feared terribly. My heart was bound to my man, my life is desperately empty without him .

This house was first put on sale after the death of the singer. But in the wake of the stormy succession of Johnny Hallyday, challenged by his two elders, a freeze on family assets was ordered by the courts.
