    The former longtime interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani is being charged with federal bank fraud for crimes involving gambling debts and theft of millions of dollars from the Japanese sensation, federal authorities said Thursday.

    U.S. Attorney Martin Estrada announced the charges Thursday.

    Ippei Mizuhara served as Ohtani’s interpreter after Ohtani came to the U.S. to play baseball. Estrada says Mizhuara “acted as Mr. Ohtani’s de facto manager.”
