He's in trouble in the US as well, will he be able to buy his way out of that one so easily?

Ball player: hit-and-run driver?
Police are searching for 24-year old New York Mets reliever Ambiorix Burgos who was driving an SUV when he ran over two women who later died of their injuries in a Nagua hospital.
Josefina Minaya Martinez, 38, and Angely Fana, 29, were struck by a new Hummer on the Cabrera-Nagua highway on Tuesday. A relative of Burgos came forward saying he had been driving the vehicle. The Police arrested him as an accomplice.
Police says that Burgos was involved in other violent events in the area, but on previous occasions the victims settled their complaints out of court.
Several witnesses identified Burgos as the driver of the vehicle.
The Mets have announced they would be carrying out their own investigation into the case. "We are extremely disturbed by the reports regarding the player's potential involvement in the hit-and-run accident that unfortunately killed two women," the Mets said in a statement. "We take this matter very seriously and have begun an internal investigation to ascertain the facts. Our thoughts and sympathies are with the families of the victims."
The New York Daily News also reports that Burgos had a case for violence against a woman pending in a New York court. Just last month he was arrested on charges of manhandling his girlfriend in a Queens hotel. The 6-foot-3, 244-pound hurler allegedly punched, bit and slapped 26-year-old Maria Lopez in a Holiday Inn room on Sept. 8, cops said. Burgos is due back in court on Oct. 23 to face assault and harassment charges.

Sounds like a right little charmer.
