Three men from Chile were indicted on federal charges in connection to the break-in at Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home in Ohio. The men were part of an alleged South American theft group, and charged with transporting stolen goods interstate and falsifying records in a federal investigation. The investigation is ongoing, as authorities believe this group may have been involved in other crimes. The burglary resulted in the theft of over $300,000 worth of items, including luggage, glasses, wristwatches, and jewelry.
The federal indictment was part of a larger investigation that also led to the arrest of two men, Nezhinskiy and Villar, in New York on charges of acting as “fences” for the stolen goods. These two men were allegedly linked to the group that broke into Burrow’s home and operated a pawn shop in Manhattan where stolen items were found. The scheme involved transferring stolen goods out of the country or selling them.
The total value of the stolen goods found in storage units connected to the alleged thieves was estimated to be $1.5 million, potentially reaching $5 million when all items were accounted for. The men pleaded not guilty in federal court, and are awaiting trial. Nezhinskiy’s attorney expressed a desire to see the evidence and fight the case, indicating that this is just the beginning of the legal process for the accused.
