Brother. Have you heard of the undercover nautical soccer player in
00:03
Paraguay? Dude? Yes,
00:05
this story is so crazy.
00:07
So investigators say that a player for Paraguay's soccer team,
00:10
Deportivo Capiata, Sebastian Marcet is one of the biggest cocaine traffickers
00:15
in Latin America. According to the report,
00:17
Marcet, who is Uruguayan laundered drug money by sponsoring soccer clubs
00:23
and as a part of the deal,
00:24
he got himself a spot on the team as a midfielder.
00:30
He fulfilled his childhood dream but only because he was allegedly bankrolling
00:34
the team with drug money and yeah,
00:37
like homeboy sucked apparently,
00:39
but no one said anything because the money reports say that a
00:46
Paraguayan senator was involved in this game too.
00:48
Officials say the senator gave millions of dollars in cocaine money to
00:52
the team and later brought in Marcet and the senator has since
00:55
then been indicted. Dang all the Hawaiians dude,
00:58
as for Mars, he left the team and is nowhere to
01:02
be found. Investigators say he has used multiple identities and has
01:07
made more than $1 billion.
01:10
So this man is scheming,
01:12
he ghosted, he's on the,
01:14
he's on the loose somewhere enjoying his money.
01:18
Maybe. Has it in some Swiss bank account,
01:20
you know what's crazy?
01:21
Maybe Panamanians maybe. I don't know.
01:24
But it's crazy because we always hear stories about all the Marcos
01:27
aren't involved with the soccer team or this chain of grocery stores
01:31
But it's like,
01:32
no, this guy really is,
01:34
was on the field for real,
01:36
he was kicking away.
01:38
But it's just crazy because when you think of Narcos,
01:42
I don't know about you.
01:43
But I see this in a lot of people,
01:44
they only think Mexicans and Colombians.
01:47
You know, it's like there's more people up there.
01:50
So what are you advocating for?
01:51
Don't stereotype, don't stereotype.
01:53
It's not just Mexicans and Colombians.
01:56
There's other finesse seriously,
01:58
but $1 billion and still nowhere to be found.
02:01
So his, his nickname is actually Ombre Deil Rostros and
02:08
they also call him Pablo Escobar and just keep so ruthless joking
02:16
with the less. But no,
02:19
I mean, the man probably changes his face a lot.
02:21
Who knows when having all these identities?
02:24
I mean, yeah,
02:25
he might be in the room.
02:26
I mean, the man has a $1 billion more than $1
02:30
billion. So he has the money.
02:33
But I guess we'll see if only he could buy the talent
02:36
because he did suck brother.
