This incident is part of a broader FBI investigation into a series of burglaries targeting professional athletes, attributed to South American Theft Groups (SATG). These burglars use advanced methods, including surveillance and technology, to target homes when athletes are away. The investigation has led to charges against seven Chilean men, underlining the sophistication of these crime rings and raising security concerns within the sports community.
Almeida claimed he was unaware of the burglary plan until the night it happened, highlighting a lack of sophistication in contrast to more organized crime rings.
