Defendant Gustavo Dominguez is the first sports agent to be charged and convicted of alien smuggling. According to the evidence presented at trial, Dominguez organized two smuggling trips by hiring individuals to pick-up baseball players in Cuba using go-fast boats. The government established that Dominguez paid for the smuggling of five Cuban baseball players into the United States for the purpose of profiting by subsequently representing them as their sports agent. The first trip in July 2004 failed when the boat was interdicted on its way to the United States by the United States Coast Guard. However, a second smuggling trip in August of 2004 was successful.

Dominguez arranged to have the five baseball players transported from South Florida to California. Dominguez also arranged to have the baseball players housed and trained knowing that the players were illegally in the country. Among the prosecution witnesses at trial were Henry Blanco, the Chicago Cubs catcher, Philadelphia Phillies General Manager Pat Gillick, and former major league pitcher Ariel Pietro. In addition, the jury heard the testimony of the person who handled the details of the alien smuggling trip for Dominguez, Ysbel Medina. Ysbel Medina, a convicted drug trafficker, testified that Dominguez wired approximately $225,0000 for the ventures.
