The former Japanese-language translator for Shohei Ohtani was charged on Thursday with unlawfully transferring more than $16 million from the bank account of the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar to pay gambling debts.
Ippei Mizuhara, 39, has been charged with bank fraud for making a series of transfers without the knowledge or permission of Ohtani, the Justice Department said in a statement.
It said there was no evidence to suggest Ohtani was aware of or involved in Mizuhara's illegal gambling activity.
