Bayern Munich stars, Robert Lewandowski, Manuel Neuer and Serge Gnabry, were recently named in a worrying death threat that called for them to be shot.
The alarming letter was sent last month and described the trio as “dirty Bavarian pigs.”
The note was delivered to second tier outfit St Pauli – not Bayern’s Allianz Arena.
St Pauli is based in Hamburg, which is located around 430 miles north of Munich. It would take around eight hours to drive between the two German cities.
Police in Hamburg are currently examining the note for fingerprints and DNA traces. Bayern and the German FA are said to be waiting for the outcome of the investigation.
“Save the league, save football,” the letter read, as quoted by German newspaper Bild. ” Fire and death to the dirty Bavarian pigs.”
The concerning note named Lewandowski, Neuer and Gnabry and also made threats to Bundesliga referees.
The German State Criminal Police Office (LKA) is currently trying to identify whether more letters have been sent to other clubs.
“We are investigating on suspicion of threatening and disturbing the public peace by threatening to commit crimes,” said a police spokesperson.
“We will check the backgrounds.”
