Raul Mondesi sentenced to 8 years in jail
Former all star outfielder for the LA Dodgers Raul Mondesi sentenced to 8 years in jail for pilfering monies from the public treasury while serving as mayor of his hometown in the Dominican Republic.
What a fall from grace. Baseball reference cites $66,500,000 in career earnings- yet stealing from a broke island nation's populous. Ugly.
Rock bottom. 8 years in a DR prison? I guess $66 million only goes so far.
66 mil in the DR is like a trillion dollars. He must have been broke before he even went back.
What the fuk? He used his fame to become a corrupt politician?
Imagine what Pacquiao could do.
Another dumbfukk Hispanic
I heard he was fined 60,000 pesos as well. Isn’t that like $50?
8 years is a lot of time for a non-violent offense. He must be broke otherwise they should have made him pay back more money than he originally stole.
$66 mil and he's broke and has to steal? Sports talent is wasted on the wrong people.
PEPCA asked for remand to custody for Raul Mondesi
The Court of San Cristobal will hold a hearing today
SAN CRISTOBAL. The Penal Chamber of the Court of Appeals of San Cristobal of will hear today, at 9:00 a.m., a request for preventive custody (remand) against Mayor Raul Mondesi, accused by the Specialized Prosecutor for the Persecution of Administrative Corruption (PEPCA) of alleged misappropriation of more than RD$200 million.
In the indictment, they are asking the judge to decree the opening of a trial and the imposition of coercive measures for serious incidents of corruption.
Likewise, they request the judge to set a RD$1 million cash bond, strict and travel restrictions and periodic presentation at the courts for Bienvenido Araujo Japa (the Secretary-General); Pedro Cordero Valverde, the Controller; Antonio De Jesus Ferreira Guzman, the municipal Treasurer, and Eduard Vianelo Guerriero Pontier an official of the mayor's office.
The Justice Department accuses Mondesi and the others of having handled funds in a discretionary manner without complying with procedures; preparing the financial statements without technical criteria; retaining the taxes collected that were not sent to the appropriate agencies; and that they did not minimally comply with the budget.
PEPCA, a dependency of the Attorney General of the Republic, notes that they were able to establish that the accused created bogus documents and made use of false documents in order to arrange service contracts, charged to the mayor's funding, in some cases in relation to the collection of garbage.
They established that the taxes were collected without forwarding them to the Directorate General of Internal Taxes (DGII); they owed money to the Social Security Treasury; there was an absence of the 1 per 1000 owed to the College of Engineers, Architects and Surveyors (CODIA); they retained money from contracts for projects and did not pay the 1% required by Law Num. 6 - 86 regarding the Pension Fund of the Workers in the Area of Construction and all the Related Areas (FOPETCONS), which were retained in contracts for projects.
They are accused of carrying out monthly, consecutive payments to wives, children, fathers in law, and various related persons, as well as friends and relatives of the principle authorities, the majority of whom did not attend or provide service to the government of the city Council.
The accusation establishes also the sale of transportation equipment (scrap) in violation of the laws and the regulations.
They indicate that the defendants used names of false persons in order to write contracts and cash checks with false endorsements.
Last January, the authorities of Public Health, the Environment and the Dominican Municipal League, took over the control of the handling of the refuse in the province of San Cristobal, which was declared to be in a state of emergency due to the improper handling of the garbage. The action originated a personal confrontation between Mondesi and the Minister of the Environment, Bautista Rojas Gomez, over the control and handling of the garbage dump. A plan of environmental rescue was prepared in that province.
This article makes it sound like he was giving payments to his family members, while also withholding tax money collected from the city. Also he either didn't pay the city's garbage bill or he gave the garbage contract to one of his cronies and they did a bad enough job for the country to open an investigation.
Ok. 3 staff members were also convicted. He was fined 1 million. What's the suprise...in political office the ease to do this is huge. You have to look at it as risk vs reward
He stole 6 and only had to pay back 1. That's not a bad reward but is it worth doing 8 years in a Dominican prison? Knowing the Dominican Republic they will probably let him serve it as house arrest at his mansion so this won't be much of a punishment.Originally Posted by nyplayer33
He deserved another 8 years for how he lied to MLB to get out of pirates contract back in the day
He will be under house arrest with unlimited booze and pussy
The guy has it made, Lakerboy.
LB, I hope you are Hispanic/Latin.
LB is black.
Please don't wish that on me.
Don't be a racist, LB. Hispanics are great people.
I think he's going to jail...not sure money gets you out of it.

They have the hottest women on earth. I believe LB is Indian. Indians are very racist, even amongst themselves. Light skin Indians are upper class in India. Dark skin are considered trash.
