"Shohei Ohtani Camp Demands Probe into Alleged Theft and Translator Scandal"
Representatives for Shohei Ohtani have requested law enforcement to investigate the alleged "massive theft" of his money, following the firing of his longtime interpreter over allegations of wiring money to an illegal bookmaker to cover gambling debts. The IRS has confirmed a criminal investigation into the interpreter and the bookmaker. Ohtani's camp initially claimed he wired the money, then disavowed the interpreter's account, and later stated Ohtani was unaware of the funds being transferred. The Dodgers have appointed a new interpreter for Ohtani, who recently signed a 10-year contract with the team.
