Dimitriy Nezhinskiy pleaded guilty to charges related to receiving stolen luxury goods, notably from the home of Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. He faces a sentence of up to five years in prison and substantial restitution. Nezhinskiy claimed that most of his business was legal, expressing remorse in court. Following Burrow's burglary during a football game, authorities arrested a group involved in a series of high-profile burglaries. Controlled sales confirmed that Nezhinskiy purchased stolen items knowingly, leading to raids that uncovered significant amounts of suspected stolen property.
"I am very sorry for my actions," the 44-year-old New Jersey resident said in Brooklyn federal court. "Most of my business was completely legitimate, and it was a good business."
Authorities accused Nezhinskiy and his co-defendant Juan Villar of knowingly purchasing stolen property, which included jewelry, watches, handbags and assorted luxury items from outside the state of New York, acquired from burglary crews traveling around the U.S. and targeting the homes of the wealthy.
