Home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt was ransacked by burglars, police say
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Police are investigating a break-in at a home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt, who has been on a globe-spanning promo tour for his new movie, 'F1.'
The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they responded to a break-in Wednesday night at a house on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Three suspects broke into the residence through the front window, ransacked the home and fled with miscellaneous property, said Officer Drake Madison.
Madison said he could not identify who owned or lived in the home, and no information is currently available on what was stolen.
Pitt reportedly bought the home for $5.5 million in April 2023, according to Traded, a commercial real estate website.
A Pitt representative declined comment.
Pitt has been out of the country on a promotional tour for the 'F1' movie. He attended the international premiere in London on Monday. The movie will be in U.S. theaters Friday.

Colorado funeral home owner accused of stashing nearly 190 bodies to be sentenced for fraud
DENVER (AP) — A Colorado funeral home owner accused of stashing nearly 190 dead bodies in a decrepit building and sending grieving families fake ashes is set to be sentenced Friday in federal court for cheating customers and defrauding the government out of nearly $900,000 in COVID-19 aid. Jon Hallford, owner of Return to Nature Funeral Home, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud last year and faces a maximum of 20 years in prison. Federal prosecutors are seeking a 15-year sentence. He's pleaded guilty in a separate state case to 191 counts of corpse abuse. Hallford and co-owner Carie Hallford were accused of storing the bodies between 2019 and 2023 and sending families fake ashes. Investigators described finding the bodies in 2023 stacked atop each other throughout a squat, bug-infested building in Penrose, a small town about a two-hour drive south of Denver. The morbid discovery revealed to many families that their loved ones weren't cremated and that the ashes they had spread or cherished were fake. In two cases, the wrong body was buried, according to court documents. Many families said it undid their grieving processes. Some relatives had nightmares, others have struggled with guilt, and at least one wondered about their loved one's soul. Federal prosecutors accused both Hallfords of pandemic aid fraud, siphoning the aid and spending it and customer's payments on a GMC Yukon and Infiniti worth over $120,000 combined, along with $31,000 in cryptocurrency, luxury items from stores like Gucci and Tiffany & Co., and even laser body sculpting. Carie Hallford is scheduled to go to trial in the federal case in September, the same month as her next hearing in the state case in which she's also charged with 191 counts of corpse abuse. In a court filing requesting a 10-year sentence, Jon Hallford's attorneys said that 'Mr. Hallford does not disagree that his conduct was abhorrent, indecent, and caused grave harm to many.' His sentencing in the state case is scheduled in August. Error! Sorry, there was an error processing your request. There was a problem with the recaptcha. Please try again.

Colombian court halts investigation into presidential campaign funds
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombia's Constitutional Court on Thursday stopped an electoral body from investigating accusations of illicit campaign financing and unreported spending by President Gustavo Petro, delivering a legal victory to the beleaguered left-wing leader. The court ruled that only Congress can investigate alleged irregularities in the financing of Petro's 2022 campaign. Petro has denied any financial impropriety. The ruling scraps a probe by the National Electoral Council into whether Petro's campaign exceeded fundraising limits by about $1.2 million and whether it accepted funds from labor organizations, which is banned by Colombian law. The council is an administrative body that supervises the electoral process and oversees campaign financing. It can also impose administrative sanctions, such as hefty fines against campaign staffers. The court ordered the electoral council to refer its investigation to Colombia's House of Representatives. It's unclear whether lawmakers will advance the case. Although Petro often clashes with Congress, lawmakers have never removed a Colombian president from office, even in the face of intense public pressure when investigators in 1996 demonstrated then-President Ernesto Samper's ties to drug cartel financing. Petro fiercely criticized the electoral council as politically motivated, opening another front in his battles against the country's courts, which have overturned some of his key decrees and appointments. The officials on the electoral council planned to examine campaign contributions by unions of public school teachers and oil workers, among others, citing a dozen financial transactions Petro's campaign had allegedly failed to report. On Thursday, Petro applauded the court's decision. 'Well done to the Constitutional Court,' he posted on social media platform X. This was just the latest in a swirl of scandals over the financing of Petro's campaign. The Attorney General's office has also been investigating Petro's son Nicolás over allegations that the campaign took funds from criminal sources, including a notorious former drug trafficker. Error!
