Ex-goalie arrested in Mexico kidnap probe MONTERREY, Mexico, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Former Mexican soccer star Omar "El Gato" Ortiz has been arrested for allegedly working with a kidnapping gang, authorities say. Nuevo Leon state law enforcement spokesman Jorge Domene told CNN Sunday Ortiz is charged with helping a gang that allegedly carried out 20 kidnappings. One of the gang's alleged victims was the husband of pop singer Gloria Trevi, who was released unharmed in October. Prosecutors allege the star goalie had been working with the gang for a year, using his celebrity to help gather information about wealthy potential victims, most of whom who lived in an area south of Monterrey, Mexico. "The Cat" was suspended from the Rayados de Monterrey by the Mexican Football League after testing positive for steroid use in 2010, CNN reported.
