A Beverly Hills real estate agent, Jason Emil Yaselli, has been arrested, accused of burglarizing celebrity homes, including Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Dorit Kemsley, Adam Lambert and Usher.
Apparently, Yaselli and fellow suspect Benjamin Eitan Ackerman would attend open houses and steal items. According to Variety, they would then allegedly use the proceeds from the items to pay down Yaselli's credit card.
Ackerman allegedly broke into 14 homes from December 2016 to August 2018. He is accused of making monthly payments on Yaselli’s credit card bill between $5,566 and $20,000.
The real estate agent was arrested on Wednesday, August 21. Yaselli and Ackerman face 50 charges, including 32 counts of money laundering, 14 counts of burglary, and charges of conspiracy and identity theft, the outlet reports.
Yaselli is being held on $1.7 million bail and will be be arraigned on Friday, August 23. As for Ackerman, he was re-arrested last Friday, August 16, pleaded not guilty, and was later released on $1.2 million bail, according to jail records obtained by Variety.
Back in January, Dorit Kemsley addressed Ackerman's arrest on Twitter, writing at the time, "Crazy and true. So glad this guy is finally off the streets. I can sleep better now."
