Wander Franco hired new attorneys and finally met with prosecutors in the Dominican Republic. He remains on administrative leave as the investigation into inappropriate relationships continues.
Update:
Update: It appears the arrest was for missing the first meeting, not for the inappropriate behavior.
Llaverías had originally requested Franco appear Dec. 28, two days after prosecutors and police visited two of Franco’s properties in Baní, the All-Star player’s hometown some 37 miles southwest of the capital of Santo Domingo, to request his appearance. They did not find the 22-year-old player there.
Franco’s arrest Monday was the result of not showing up for Thursday’s requested meeting, a source confirmed to ESPN. Franco must be brought before a judge within 48 hours, according to Dominican law. No criminal charges have been filed against Franco in relation to the allegations of inappropriate relationships with minors.
