A lawyer for ex-Mets infielder Luis Castillo has demanded his client receive an apology from authorities in the Dominican Republic after he was implicated in a massive, international drug-trafficking ring.
Darren Heitner has insisted that the former MLBer did not have any involvement in the cocaine and opioid empire of César Emilio Peralta.
“At this point, we want clarity,” Heitner said, according to sports website The Athletic. “We’d love to know what the next step is. We demand information, and ultimately, an apology, because Luis Castillo has not been involved in any drug trafficking whatsoever.
