Giacomo Nikolov, Jela Jovanoic and Charlie Jovanovic, along with Valentino Nikolov, travelled to the UK from Italy in April 2024. They conspired together to target properties belonging to high net worth individuals, including footballer Alexander Isak and entrepreneur and care home operator, Helen McCardle CBE. Three houses in the North East were targeted over a 5 day period and more than £1.3m worth of property was stolen, including jewellery, designer handbags, money and an irreplaceable CBE medal.
The case involved a complex and detailed investigation by Northumbria Police, including extensive ANPR, phone data and CCTV evidence. This evidence tracked the group from their arrival in Dover up to the North East. They had used fake number plates, unregistered sim cards and disguises in order to avoid detection. It also showed that they had monitored the movements of staff and players at Newcastle United’s training ground in the days prior to the offences.
All three defendants pleaded guilty. Valentino Nikolov was convicted after a trial. The quartet were sentenced on 20th May at Newcastle Crown Court by HHJ Spragg.
Nick Murphy represented Giacomo Nikolov, who received 8 years imprisonment.
Jessica Slaughter represented Jela Jovanovic, who received 7 years 2 months imprisonment.
Claire Anderson represented Charlie Jovanovic, who received 6 years and 9 months imprisonment.
All three were instructed by Lee Poppett of Hay and Kilner Solicitors.
