Interpreters steals $ 17 million

The Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani earns $ 70 million annually. A considerable part of it was stolen.

The former interpreter of the Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani has been sentenced to a multi-year prison sentence in the United States. A federal court in Santa Ana, California, condemned the ex-employee of the professional from the Los Angeles Dodgers to 57 months in prison and compensation payments of more than $ 18 million.

Ippei Mibuhara had previously admitted that the top star stole almost $ 17 million to pay game debts. There are also tax offenses. He had accompanied the baseball star with the Los Angeles Angels for years and then followed the Dodgers, in which Ohtani signed a contract for ten years over $ 700 million at the end of 2023.

The franchise ended the cooperation with Mibuhara in the spring of last year, as irregularities.
