Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, a New York City pawn shop owner, pleaded guilty to participating in a conspiracy to sell luxury items stolen by a national burglary crew. High-profile victims included Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, whose home was burglarized during a game. Nezhinskiy admitted to knowingly purchasing stolen luxury goods worth approximately $300,000. He faces up to five years in prison and over $2.5 million in restitution. The operation involved a pattern of burglaries targeting athletes while they were away, with co-defendant Juan Villar also pleading guilty for similar charges.
"This defendant ran a black-market pipeline, buying stolen luxury goods from organized theft crews that targeted homes and businesses," New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said in a statement Friday.
