Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Raúl Mondesi, 53, was sentenced by a Dominican court to six years and nine months in jail and fined $507,000 for corruption during his tenure as mayor of San Cristobal. Prosecutors accused Mondesi of embezzling $5 million during his time in office from 2010 to 2016. Mondesi, who spent six years under house arrest, has already completed his sentence. He had a successful Major League Baseball career, winning the NL Rookie of the Year award in 1994 and two Gold Gloves, playing for teams including the Dodgers, Toronto Blue Jays, New York Yankees, and others. His political career included serving as a lawmaker and a failed bid for the senate after his mayoral term.
