US EditionAjax Striker Brian Brobbey Was "Target of Extortion" - DutchNews.nl
- Dutch footballer Brian Brobbey endured a violent extortion plot involving arson, explosions, and a shooting from late 2022 to 2024 in Amsterdam.
- The extortion began after Jeymon A., a 31-year-old Amsterdam criminal, approached Brobbey at a December 2022 music festival demanding €150,000 to 'solve a problem.'
- Following Brobbey's refusal to pay, attackers threw fireworks into his mother-in-law’s home mailbox, detonated an explosive near his car, set his sister-in-law’s car on fire, and shot his friend in July 2023.
- In November 2024, Jeymon A. Was convicted and sentenced to 10 years for attempted murder of Brobbey's friend, firearms offences, and drug trafficking, though prosecutors excluded extortion from the case.
- The case negatively affected Brobbey's performance, as he scored only four league goals in 30 matches in 2024–2025, and he reportedly seeks to leave Ajax amid ongoing club questions over handling the threats.
