Agent for Leonys Martin Arrested in Human Trafficking Case
A sports agent based in Florida who has worked for a company in a joint venture with the entertainer Marc Anthony’s firm, has been indicted on charges involving illegal smuggling of Cuban baseball players from the communist island to the United States.
Nestor Iglesias, a Homeland Security Investigations spokesman in Miami, confirmed that Bart Hernandez was arrested in a joint operation with the F.B.I. Hernandez was scheduled to make an initial court appearance later Friday.
His lawyer, Daniel Rashbaum, had no immediate comment on the charges. An indictment providing additional details was expected to be unsealed Friday.
