A notorious football fanatic, known for his extreme dedication to his beloved team, has been handed a lengthy prison sentence for a string of bank robberies. According to court documents, 29-year-old Xaviar Babudar pleaded guilty to multiple counts of money laundering, transporting stolen property, and bank robbery earlier this year.
Babudar’s legal team had requested a 10-year sentence, while prosecutors pushed for a 20-year term. Ultimately, the judge sentenced him to 17.5 years behind bars. The convicted felon was initially arrested in December 2022, but managed to post bail and went on to commit additional robberies before being re-arrested in July 2023.
As part of his plea deal, Babudar admitted to stealing over $800,000 from various banks and has been ordered to pay more than $530,000 in restitution to his victims. He is also facing a substantial civil judgment of $10.8 million, stemming from a lawsuit filed by a bank teller he threatened with a weapon during one of the robberies.
Despite his lengthy sentence, Babudar’s story may not be over yet. With good behavior, he could be released from prison in his mid-40s, potentially emerging as a stronger and more determined individual. It remains to be seen what the future holds for this troubled football enthusiast, but one thing is certain – his love for the game has led him down a dangerous and destructive path.
