MIAMI _ Sports agent Gustavo Dominguez was convicted Thursday of smuggling five Cuban baseball players into the United States.

Dominguez, 48, shook his head as the court clerk read each of the verdicts against him: guilty of conspiracy; guilty of smuggling; guilty of transporting; guilty of harboring. In all, the Key West, Fla., jury found him guilty on 21 federal counts.

Dominguez's wife of 28 years and two adult children cried loudly in the courtroom.

His attorney, J. Stephen Salter, said they would appeal the convictions, most of which carry a maximum penalty of 10 years each in prison.
