After the robbery, Donnarumma and his interior designer girlfriend Alessia Elefante took refuge in a luxury hotel close to their home around 3:20 am, where they were taken to the hospital by the hotel staff. In addition to this, the hotel staff alarmed the police, after which the Banditry Repression Brigade of the Paris Judicial Police took charge of the investigation.
As BBC quoted Paris prosecutor’s office, "An investigation has been opened on charges of armed robbery in an organised gang and aggravated violence following the events that took place overnight at Mr Donnarumma's place.”
