Drug Cartels have long and seducing tentacles which wraps from politicians, artists, celebrities and footballers. Add mexico being one , if not, the most corrupted country in the world, then it is no surprise to see such outcome.
Rafa is the owner of 9 business, and is accused but not charged with nefarious doings–but not his bookkeeper(s) or accountant(s), who might really know which money went where and when? Sounds like a witch hunt.
R2 Dad….’legitimate business’s are a way of laundering money apparently…Marquez ‘bookkeeper’ and ‘accountant’ are probably operating at his command as they work for him. I hope he is still allowed to play for Mexico as he is finished as a top flight player…slow as molasses and a passenger in most games…
Huh? Not sure if this is serious but I have never posted an anti-Altidore comment. He’s not perfect but he’s the best striker we have (along with Wood).
You know folks, even in Mexico like here in the US, the concept of “innocent until proven guilty,” is also applicable in Mexico. Although I must admit and know that sometimes Napoleonic styled Law in Mexico is the opposite to our laws. So what do y’all say, he’s innocent until proven guilty, much as those in 4 En Linea Mexican Futbol program touted over and over as well as Jorge Ramos and his parrots on ESPN en espanol.
Ric, I hear you BUT; One reason these investigations take so long is to be pretty sure they have a high level of confidence before naming names. Yet I hope he is innocent, not because of any great love for him. He is a roll model for many kids in Mexico and beyond. With all the issues in Mexico, this s a big blow. “If Rafa can do it….” However this is not a Mexico problem. It is always a shame when those that are idolized prove to be. Not only unworthy, but actually closer to the bottom of the barrel.
Tom G: Are you clairvoyantly not surprised, do you know anything about the players or exactly what’s going on? How well do you know “this dude,” especially about his “character” are you one of detractors for whatever reason?
His dirty tackle on an Earthquakes forward left him with broken bones. And wasn’t he the one that launched a flying karate kick on Tim Howard? One of the most vicious dirty players I ever saw. In the end, class will tell.

I take back all the bad things I ever said about Rafa. I must admit I misunderstood him & had him pegged as a Pedo
Probably the least favorite player I’ve ever had play for a team I support in any sport whatsoever. No surprise to see him wrapped up in this.
I’m sure there is a sound legal foundation in “probably”…
I thought you hated Altidore more?

Not surprised at all. Character matters n we know this dude.
