Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter appears in court

Ippei Mizuhara, Shohei Ohtani’s former interpreter, appeared in federal court Friday after being charged with bank fraud. He was ordered to undergo gambling addiction treatment in a sports betting case stemming from allegations he stole $16 million from the Japanese baseball player’s bank account to pay off debts. After being released on a $25,000 bond, Ohtani’s former interpreter issued an apology to the baseball star and the LA Dodgers.
