Ajax Striker Brian Brobbey Was "Target of Extortion" - DutchNews.nl

  • From late 2022 until 2024, Dutch footballer Brian Brobbey faced a prolonged and violent extortion campaign in Amsterdam that included arson attacks, explosions, and a shooting incident.
  • The plot began after a criminal figure, 31-year-old Jeymon A., approached Brobbey at a December 2022 music festival demanding €150,000 and claiming to solve problems around him.
  • Attacks included fireworks thrown through Brobbey's mother-in-law’s mailbox in January 2023, an explosion near his car in March, his sister-in-law’s car set on fire in April, and a shooting of Brobbey’s friend in July.
  • In November 2024, Jeymon A. was convicted of attempted murder related to the shooting, firearms offences, and drug trafficking, and sentenced to 10 years in prison.
  • Brobbey refused to pay, endured a poor 2024–2025 season scoring four goals, and expressed a desire to leave Ajax, whose management only learned full case details before Parool's November 2024 report.
