Former Toronto Blue Jays outfielder Raul Mondesi was sentenced Friday by a Dominican court to six years and nine months in jail and fined $507,000 for corruption during his time as mayor in the city of San Cristobal.
The former NL Rookie of the Year apparently embezzled $5 million from 2010 to 2016 when he was mayor of San Cristobal.
Prosecutors accused the 53-year-old Mondesi of embezzling $5 million during his time as mayor between 2010 and 2016. The sentence came after a deal with the prosecutors' office.
Mondesi played for the Blue Jays for 3 seasons between 2000-2002 before being traded to the Yankees. The former Jays player spent 13 years in the MLB, playing for 7 different teams from 1993-2005.
