Real Madrid midfielder Federico Valverde's partner Mina Bonino recently revealed that they were unknowingly drugged while on vacation in Ibiza. She took to Instagram to share the horrid experience and stated that some money was also stolen from the couple.
Bonino explained the incident on her Instagram story about how the chef at the place they were staying was suspected. She said (via RMC Sport):
“Realtors told us the food could have been poisoned by the chef, so they took us to the hospital for substance testing."
She also revealed that they were robbed of nearly €10,000 in cash. Further explaining the incident, Bonino said:
"When we arrived at the house, the cook was already there. He told me at that time that there was only one key and that he was going to take it with him so that the next day he can come back to make breakfast and not bother us. The next day I couldn't even get up. I messaged a friend to take my son because everything was so upsetting for me. I felt terrible."
Bonino then shared that she and Valverde were tested and the results came out negative. She also stated that the agents searched their house and that the Real Madrid man was sick and threw up. She said:
"The estate agents came. They gave us a nice show saying the food might have been poisoned. The tests showed we were negative for everything. It was very subtle for them to raid our house and that I do not know"
She concluded:
"We spent our first day in the hospital. Federico threw up and we were robbed by someone who saw me sleeping naked, which disturbs me the most."
Valverde and his partner will have a few days to recover and come to terms with the unfortunate episode before he begins the pre-season with Real Madrid.
