FIFA 21: EA pro player and manager arrested for pretending to be old and getting vaccinated

FIFA 21: EA pro player and manager arrested for pretending to be old and getting vaccinated

FIFA 21

Rubén Zerecero, one of the strongest FIFA 21 Latin American pro players, and Christian Nieva, EA Sport's Campaign Manager, were recently arrested by Mexican police. The two, in fact, were caught red-handed while they pretended to be two elderly people to be given the vaccine for COVID-19.

This surreal and grotesque story, unfortunately, really happened near the vaccination center of Coyoacán in Mexico City. The two were discovered by the Mexican police holding forged documents.

Rubén Zerecero, a 31-year-old player, pretended to be his father. Christian Nieva, 35, took over from Zerecero's uncle. The two were only identified after they were given the vaccine dose. It was their attitude and their disguise during the wait following the administration that made the cops suspicious.

The agents, in fact, became suspicious of the tendency of the two to remain hidden behind sunglasses and a hood, despite being inside the vaccination center. A more careful review of the documents revealed that they were false and led to the arrest of the two.

The two face a sentence of 4 to 8 years in prison for forging documents and 9 years for appropriating another person's identity. The career of the two, however, will be forever marked by this crime. Rubén Zerecero was one of the strongest FIFA players in Latin America, as well as runner-up of the FIFA Interactive World Cup in 2009.
