FAIR:
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow will be watching the Super Bowl from his living room couch like the rest of us. Not exactly where he had hoped to spend Super Bowl Sunday, but at least it’s better than where four alleged members of a Chilean burglary ring will be spending the day.
Jordan Francisco Quiroga Sanchez, Bastian Alejandro Orellana Morales, and Sergio Andres Ortega Cabello, will be locked up in an Ohio jail after being indicted for breaking into Burrow’s home and making off with an estimated $300,000 worth of jewelry, memorabilia and other luxury items. The four suspects are all illegal aliens and believed to be part of a sophisticated criminal enterprise operating around the country.
Unlike most of the rest of us, Mr. Burrow’s business trips are well publicized. On December 9, he and his teammates were in Dallas for a Monday night game against the Cowboys. While he was enjoying a win over the Cowboys, the Chilean criminals were brazenly taking selfies as they were looting his possessions.
This high-profile burglary follows a familiar pattern employed by South American-based criminal rings. These criminal organizations infiltrate members into the United States illegally (which was pretty easy to do until January 20) and provide them with false IDs and rental cars. Stolen merchandise is then fenced by associates of the burglary rings.
According to court documents, Burrow’s stolen property first made its way to Florida, where the suspects were again photographed wearing his jewelry and carrying his designer luggage. The leased vehicle used in the burglary was also found abandoned in Florida. From there, the stolen goods made their way to New York City where Dimitriy Nezhinskiy and Juan Villar have been charged with receiving stolen property. READ MORE
