Inés Gómez Mont, the Mexican TV presenter who drew attention in 2008 after proposing to NFL star Tom Brady at Super Bowl media events, is arrested by U.S. immigration authorities in Miami. Multiple outlets say she is held in connection with a major fraud investigation that also involves her husband.
Coverage places the arrest in the context of years on the run. Reports describe that Gómez Mont fled Mexico in 2021 and that she and her husband, Victor Manuel Alvarez Puga, face allegations tied to misuse of public funds, money laundering, and tax fraud. One outlet frames the matter as a $160 million fraud case, while another reports a roughly £120 million figure and adds details about the nature of the alleged scheme.
Outlets largely emphasize her earlier “Tom Brady” proposal as a hook for readers, while shifting the focus to the fraud allegations and the timing of her custody and capture. Despite different dollar and pound figures, the core story elements—arrest by ICE in Miami, long fugitive period, and involvement of her husband in an alleged large-scale scheme—are consistent.
