Ex-Mets Octavio Dotel and Luis Castillo were both reportedly arrested on drug trafficking charges in their native Dominican Republic.
The two former Amazin’s standouts have also been linked to a money laundering network, according to DR attorney general Jean Rodriguez. They were taken down in a sting that’s being billed as the “largest operation against organized crime” in the history of the Dominican Republic.
Details are still incomplete, but reports are emerging about both the arrests, the alleged crimes and what sort of properties have been seized.
Dotel, who also pitched for the Yankee, was arrested Tuesday morning according to CDN.
