Shohei Ohtani (30, LA Dodgers) reveals his position on the charges of illegal gambling and theft by interpreter Ippei Mizuhara.

The Associated Press reported on the 25th that Otani will hold a press conference for reporters on the 26th (Korean time).

On the 21st, foreign media reported that Mizuhara was suspected of illegal gambling and theft. It is known that millions of dollars were stolen from Otani's bank account for gambling, and the money missing from Otani's account is said to amount to at least $4.5 million (about 6 billion won).

In the process, Mizuhara explained that Otani had sent money to pay off his gambling debts, but then changed his story to say that Otani had no idea about this. Otani's lawyer said, "Ohtani was the victim of a large-scale theft," and explained that she was not aware of Mizuhara's gambling involvement.

However, some argue that it is impossible for someone else to transfer a large amount of money from their account and not know about it, and even Otani is suspected of being involved.

“It would be better for Ohtani to address this issue publicly,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. “It’s right for a superstar to do that,” he said. 고스톱사이트
