Man charged in transport of Masters golf tournament memorabilia taken from Augusta National
A man has been charged in federal court in Illinois in the transport of millions of dollars worth of Masters golf tournament merchandise and memorabilia stolen from Augusta National Golf Club in Georgia.
A document filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois accuses Richard Globensky of transporting the items across state lines to Tampa, Florida, “knowing the same had been stolen, converted and taken by fraud.”
The items were taken from the famous golf club and other locations beginning in 2009 through 2022, according to the government.
Upon conviction, Globensky would have to forfeit any property and cash attained from proceeds traced to the stolen items, the government said.
The Associated Press was unable Wednesday to reach Globensky by phone using numbers listed in public records. Lawyer Tom Church, who’s listed in online court records as representing Globensky, did not immediately respond Wednesday to a voicemail and an email.
