Do Not Sell My Personal Information
TWO men threatened secured guards and claimed they would ‘kill’ Meust Ozil and ‘his f***ing mother’ outside the Arsenal star’s home, a court has heard.
Salaman Ekinci and Ferhat Ercun are accused of being abusive at the Arsenal star’s North London house, but deny claims made against them.
The guards told Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court they were hired after the footballer was involved in an unrelated attack weeks earlier.
Kemil Sezer told how they were guarding the midfielder’s £10million home.
Helped by a Turkish interpreter, he told the court he first saw two men at around 7.30pm before they returned around three hours later when it was dark.

He said: “They swore in Turkish, saying ‘f*** your mothers, we’re going to f*** Mesut’s mother and we’re going to come back in five minutes and if security don’t go from here, we’re going to kill Mesut Ozil and kill you’.
“We started chasing them … we got angry because Mesut Ozil, about two to three weeks prior, was attacked and we feared that the same thing would happen.”
Ozil and fellow Gunners star Sead Kolasinac were victims of an attempted armed robbery by knife wielding thugs back in August.
The moped muggers tried to steal their £200,000 watches in an unrelated incident.
Prosecutor Sarah Gabay said Ekinci and Ercun were detained by the guards after they returned for a third time after midnight before police were called.
