Shohei Ohtani's interpreter accused of stealing millions from Dodgers star to gamble: report

Attorneys for Shohei Ohtani accused his former interpreter, Ippei Mizuhara, of stealing 'millions of dollars' from the MLB superstar to gamble. Mizuhara, Ohtani's personal interpreter throughout his MLB career, is accused of making wagers with an illegal bookie. Mizuhara had been employed by the Los Angeles Dodgers after Ohtani signed with them, but the organization fired him, the Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday.

In the course of responding to recent media inquiries, we discovered that Shohei has been the victim of a massive theft, and we are turning the matter over to the authorities,' the Berk Brettler firm said in a statement to the outlet. Ohtani's attorneys say Mizuhara placed wagers with Orange County resident Mathew Bowyer, who is under federal investigation.

Ohtani went 2-for-4 with an RBI in the Dodgers' season opener against the NL West rival San Diego Padres in Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
