Chilean Nationals Indicted in Organized Crime Ring Targeting Joe Burrow and Other Athletes
Three men face state and federal charges for a $300,000 burglary at Joe Burrow's home, linked to a broader South American theft network.
- Three Chilean men, Jordan Francisco Quiroga Sanchez, Bastian Alejandro Orellana Morales, and Sergio Andres Ortega Cabello, have been indicted on charges of engaging in a corrupt activity pattern and burglary related to a break-in at Joe Burrow's Ohio home.
- The suspects, believed to be part of a South American crime ring, are accused of stealing $300,000 worth of items, including jewelry, designer bags, and memorabilia, while Burrow was playing a game in Texas on December 9, 2024.
- Photos found on the suspects' phones show them posing with stolen items, including Burrow's jewelry and personal belongings, which were seized during a traffic stop in January 2025.
- Officials confirmed that the suspects entered the U.S. legally but are now held under an ICE detainer, preventing them from leaving the country even if bail is posted.
- Authorities warn that other members of the crime ring may still be at large, and a specialized task force has been established to investigate similar burglaries targeting professional athletes across the U.S.
