SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — Former Major League Baseball outfielder Raul Mondesi was sentenced Friday by a Dominican court to six years and nine months in jail and fined US$507,000 for corruption during his time as mayor in the city of San Cristobal.

Prosecutors accused the 53-year-old Mondesi of embezzling $5 million during his time as mayor between 2010 and 2016. The sentence came after a deal with the prosecutors’ office.
