Mexican soccer star 'El Gato' arrested in kidnap case - Soccer- NBC Sports: "MONTERREY, Mexico - Mexico arrested former international soccer goalkeeper Omar Ortiz on suspicion of working for a gang of kidnappers, fanning concerns about lawlessness plaguing the United States' southern neighbor.
The 35-year-old Ortiz admitted helping to pick out rich victims for the kidnappers, according to Jorge Domene, government security spokesman for the northern state of Nuevo Leon.
Domene said Ortiz worked with a gang responsible for at least 20 kidnappings.
The gang sought an average of 1 million pesos ($73,000) per victim, of which Ortiz received a cut of more than 100,000 pesos, Nuevo Leon's government said.
Domene said the gang operated by selecting victims at social gatherings. The gang's victims allegedly included the husband of pop singer Gloria Trevi."
