from Border Report Live · host borderreportlive
A bishop from Southern California has been arrested on suspicion of embezzlement and was reportedly seen at a brothel south of the border. Bishop Emmanuel Shaleta, 69, was reportedly arrested moments before boarding a flight out of the country. According to FOX5/KUSI in San Diego, Shaleta, 69, of the diocese of St. Peter the Apostle, was arrested on suspicion of embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from his own church. The former leader of the Chaldean El Cajon Church had been under investigation from the Vatican and the sheriff’s department after members of the church lodged complaints. In this episode of Border Report Live, correspondent Salvador Rivera and host Rudy Mireles discuss the case, including reports from a Catholic-centric publication that Shaleta was seen going into the Hong Kong Gentleman’s Club, a renowned strip club and brothel in Tijuana.
