| ex president Rafael Callejas of Honduras takes a plea |
According to the US Attorneys Office, EDNY, "Earlier today in federal court in Brooklyn, Rafael Callejas, the president of the Honduran soccer federation (FENAFUTH) from 2002 to 2015, pleaded guilty to racketeering conspiracy and wire fraud conspiracy in connection with his receipt of bribes in exchange for the awarding of contracts for the media and marketing rights to FIFA World Cup qualifier matches. Callejas, who served as the President of the Republic of Honduras from 1990 to 1994, also agreed to forfeit $650,000. At sentencing, Callejas faces a maximum sentence of 20 years for each count. Today’s plea proceeding took place before United States Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy."
Imagine , a former president of a country pleading guilty to taking bribes? What a shocker! Or maybe it is not such a shocker. Of all of the categories of sinners mentioned in Leviticus, there is only one category of sinner that will sin and that is the leader, where it says, asher nasi yechetah, or when the prince will sin.
See Leviticus 4:22. The Torah is the blue print of creation and knows the thoughts of man. Like it says in Koheles, there is nothing new under the sun. Like I just said, feds will take anyone down.
Now the man is 72 years old and I hope the Judge has mercy on him. Jail is difficult as it is and surely for a senior citizen.
What can he expect if sentenced to prison? See my notes....http://www.amazon.com/PRISON-expect-Federal-Bureau-Prisons-ebook/dp/B011GTWLOG
