A group of criminals entered the hotel where the filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola is located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Palermo.

The thieves threatened the staff that was in his place and the director, who had been the victim of another robbery in 2007, was stolen again.

The criminals managed to steal money from the cash register and several valuables objects.

According to the Daily Chronicle, “the assault occurred at the hotel called hidden garden, a place where three criminals entered, driving a black car that they left parked in the area. The thugs, in a few seconds took control of the place and seized the money”.

The theft had occurred earlier in September 2007, when burglars entered the home of filmmaker around midnight, and took several items of value.
