Former Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Raul Mondesi has been sentenced 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.
Mondesi, 53, was accused of embezzling $5 million during his time as mayor between 2010 and 2016. The sentence came after a deal with the prosecutors\' office.
He spent six years under house arrest, which means his sentence has already been completed.
As a Dodgers outfielder, Mondesi won the NL Rookie of the Year award in 1994 and played in the All-Star Game one year later. The Dominican was in Major League Baseball for 13 seasons and won two Gold Gloves.
