Gus told me how federal prosecutors who were hungry for a high profile immigration case issued a criminal indictment against him for smuggling human beings from Cuba. In the story, “Legendary Agent from Cuban-American Community Convicted,” I described Gus’s story for readers.

Those who have an interest in professional baseball, and Cuban players in particular, may find some value in the article.
