Bail revoked for Diamond District duo tied to South American burglary gang busted in Joe Burrow robbery

A pair of Diamond District pawn shop owners accused of fencing around $5 million in stolen goods were thrown in jail Friday — because they’re too dangerous given their ties to a prolific South American burglary crew that’s targeted NFL stars, a judge ruled Friday.Brooklyn federal court Judge William Kuntz revoked bail for Dimitriy Nezhinskiy, 43, and Juan Villar, 48, saying both posed a “substantial danger to numerous communities across America” after creating a “Super Bowl of criminal activity.”“This is one Super Bowl these defendants will have to watch from the sidelines.This is one they will not watch,” the judge said, in a reference to Sunday’s matchup and allegations that involve burglaries of NFL players’ homes in the case.Villar, a US-born Queens resident, was out on $500,000 bail for less than 24 hours after beefing up his bail application when the judge reversed the ruling.
