Famous TV host on the run 'after embezzling £42million from government

A famous TV host is on the run after embezzling billions of pesos from Mexico's Ministry of the Interior.

Mexican officials have urged Interpol to track down Inés Gómez Mont and her lawyer husband - Víctor Manuel Álvarez Puga.

The couple are accused of embezzling almost 3 billion pesos (£43.2million) from the government ministry between 2016 and 2017, according to Uno TV via People.

Ms Gómez Mont is most famously known for proposing to celebrity quarterback Tom Brady while dressed in a bridal gown.

Ms Gómez Mont and her husband are said to have entered the United States after a warrant was issued for their arrest on September 10, local media reports.

Ms Gómez Mont and her husband are said to have entered the United States after a warrant was issued for their arrest on September 10, local media reports.

On Instagram she has accused authorities of not providing "access to that warrant, nor the proof that justifies it".

She added they're "preparing to face this process and exercise all our rights".

The couple are both facing lengthy prison sentences of 20 to 60 years if caught.

The TV star is known for turning up at a Patriots-Giants Super Bowl press conference in 2008 to tell then-Patriots quarterback Tom Brady that she loved him.

Brady rejected the woman dressed in full wedding garb - excusing himself due to a relationship to then-girlfriend Gisele Bundchen.

The footballer and Bundchen were married in February 2009, a month after their engagement.

The spurned presenter moved on quickly to Giants quarterback Eli Manning with a T-shirt reading, "Marry Me Manning".

Local news reported that Mexico's Attorney General's Office has requested Interpol issue international capture warrants for the couple.

Interpol's red notices allow different countries to track them as they move around the world.
