Puig faces up to five years in federal prison for lying to federal agents during an investigation into an illegal sports gambling operation, with whom he placed more than 900 bets from May 2019 to September 2019.
Former Major League Baseball player Yasiel Puig is set to plead guilty to lying to federal investigators about bets on sporting events that he placed with an illegal gambling operation, according to court documents that were unsealed on Monday.
"Under our system of justice, no one is above the law," said Martin Estrada, United States Attorney for the Central District of California."The integrity of our nation's criminal justice system depends on people telling the truth, and those who fail to abide by this simple principal must face consequences."
After just a month of interactions with"Agent 1," Puig had amassed $282,900 in sports gambling losses with Nix's illegal gambling operation. Eventually, Puig paid the $200,000 debt and was allowed access once again. From July 2019 to September 2019, he is believed to have placed 899 bets on tennis, football and basketball games.
