亚谢尔·普伊格因赌博谎言面临联邦审判

前MLB球星亚谢尔·普伊格在洛杉矶因涉嫌向联邦调查人员谎报非法赌博活动而受审。该案于1月20日开庭,焦点是2022年一次采访中普伊格被控否认知晓自己的投注和债务。普伊格坚称无罪,其辩方强调语言障碍及其过去经历。

曾因在职业棒球大联盟(MLB)充满活力的比赛风格被称为“野马”的亚谢尔·普伊格,在洛杉矶联邦审判首周基本保持沉默。他身穿黑色高领衫和裤子,通过西班牙语翻译听取证词,几乎面无表情。这场历时四年筹备的审判源于普伊格在2022年1月与国土安全部、税务局和美国检察官办公室调查人员的访谈中涉嫌做虚假陈述。他面临妨碍司法和虚假陈述指控,最高可判20年监禁,但更可能从轻量刑。政府2023年追加起诉书称,“被告普伊格明知其虚假而故意做出……重大虚假陈述和表述”。2012年从古巴叛逃的普伊格有动荡历史,包括球员停赛、性侵指控和解(未起诉)、鲁莽驾驶指控撤销。2022年8月他最初接受缓刑、无监禁和5.5万美元罚款的认罪协议,但11月撤销,导致2023年1月新增妨碍司法指控。检察官称普伊格否认知晓通过Donny Kadokawa下注的体育博彩(非棒球)细节,包括20万美元损失以银行本票支付。他据称声称投注通过“未知人员”在“未知网站”进行,且从未与“特工1”(后确认为Kadokawa)讨论投注。普伊格自2019年在辛辛那提红人队期间起,向哥斯达黎加非法集团ブックメーカーWayne Nix累计至少899次投注和30万美元债务。合作证人兼青年棒球教练Kadokawa证言2.5天,展示普伊格网球和NBA投注短信。他泪流满面地说,作证“唤起这段可怕经历和我所承受的痛苦”,解释是为回报棒球营恩情而帮助普伊格。Kadokawa认罪虚假纳税申报以求宽大,但辩护律师Keri Curtis Axel在交叉质询中质疑其可信度,指出记忆缺失及其可能从普伊格损失中获25%佣金,以及2019年25.7万美元未报收入。辩方辩称语言障碍——普伊格母语为西班牙语——及认知问题导致误解,2023年动议称:“普伊格的母语非英语,且患有多种认知和社会残疾。”基于种族的选择性起诉主张被法官驳回。MLB被传唤;Marquest Meeks就赌博规则21违规作证,Cesar Murillas预计随后作证。陪审团须判定普伊格是否故意撒谎。其团队考虑让其出庭直接说明语言障碍,但面临对其复杂背景的严厉交叉质询风险。
