Summary
Seven Chilean men have been charged in Tampa federal court for orchestrating burglaries across the U.S. targeting professional athletes' homes. These burglaries involved stealing over $2 million in valuables from players including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, and Joe Burrow. Each defendant faces conspiracy charges related to interstate transportation of stolen property, with potential prison sentences of up to 10 years.
