The scope of the thieves' loot was made public during the court proceedings in Newcastle, reports news agency AFP.

Four people from the same family, who live in Italy, are charged with the burglary against the Swedish Premier League star and additional burglaries in the same area.

Alexander Isak commented on the incident in connection with a national team gathering in June last year.

It wasn't extremely dramatic, I wasn't home, no one was home. It was sad, of course, but those who did it got caught pretty quickly, said Isak.

The gang broke into his TV room through a glass door sometime between 4 pm and 10 pm on April 4. Isak discovered the burglary when he came home in the evening.

They took the Newcastle player's car, jewelry worth around 900,000 kronor, and between 5,000-10,000 British pounds (66,000-133,000 kronor) in cash. The car was later found abandoned by private individuals.

It is believed to be professional criminals and traveling burglars from one and the same family, according to prosecutor Dan Cordey.

It consisted of a woman and three men, who are related to each other. Two men and the woman have confessed, says the prosecutor.

In the days leading up to the burglary at Isak's, the gang had stolen jewelry and clothes worth over 13.3 million kronor from a businesswoman and designer items worth 1.3 million kronor from another woman.
