At 62 years old, Perez is accused of moving and transferring these stolen items across state lines. He made a court appearance on Tuesday to respond to these allegations.
From 2016 to 2021, Perez was employed by the Heat and subsequently worked for the NBA from 2022 to 2025. It is during these periods that he reportedly had access to the team’s secure equipment storage areas, where he is suspected of taking memorabilia valued in the millions.

On April 3, a search of Perez’s residence led to the discovery of more than 300 jerseys, according to district officials.
