(AFP) Ippei Mizuhara, who was a translator and friend of Japanese Shohei Ohtani for years, was accused Thursday of illegally transferring more than $16 million from the Los Angeles Dodgers superstar's bank account to pay off gambling debts.

The Justice Department said that Mizuhara, 39, is being charged with bank fraud for allegedly making a series of transfers without Ohtani's knowledge or permission.

It appears there is no evidence to suggest that Ohtani was aware or involved in Mizuhara's illegal gambling activity.
