Japanese interpreter charged with stealing $16 million from MLB star Shohei Ohtani

reut.rs/43VeIOi

Quick Glance: Ippei Mizuhara Remains Free Despite Bank Fraud Charges on $25,000 Bond

Former interpreter for baseball star Shohei Ohtani from the Los Angeles Dodgers surrendered to authorities and later appeared before the U.S. District Court.

Ippei Mizuhara turned himself in on Friday and was subsequently released on an unsecured $25,000 bond, commonly referred to as a signature bond. This arrangement allowed Mizuhara to secure his release without needing to provide any cash or collateral.

United States Magistrate Judge Maria A. Audero also stipulated that Mizuhara must undergo treatment for his gambling addiction related to the sports betting scandal. Prosecutors alleged that he exploited his personal and professional connection with Ohtani to steal over $16 million from the player's bank account by occasionally posing as Ohtani to bankers to cover his gambling expenses.

On Friday, Mizuhara only responded to the judge's inquiries by answering 'yes' when Audero asked him if he comprehended various aspects of the case and his bond conditions.

Quick Glance: Joe Biden Calls for Significant Increase in Tariffs on Chinese Steel

US President Joe Biden is pushing for an increase in tariffs on Chinese steel and aluminium to strengthen union support in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

During a meeting with United Steelworkers union members in Pittsburgh, Biden calls on trade representative Katherine Tai to raise the tariffs from the current average of 7.5 percent.

The main focus of the measures is to combat China's new export surge and the ongoing price pressure that makes it difficult for American steel companies to compete.

The Biden administration's decision to increase tariffs is expected to impact recent efforts by Washington and Beijing to stabilize relations.

Quick Glance: Why Japan Seeks Summit with Nuclear-Armed North Korea

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida aims to engage in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

North Korea has not definitively stated its position on a summit with Japan, with some statements suggesting a potential opening for closer ties.

Past summits between Japan and North Korea had varying outcomes, with North Korea acknowledging some abductions in 2002.

Kishida's efforts to arrange a meeting with Kim Jong Un carry political risks and could lead to a decline in his approval ratings given North Korea's reluctance, posing challenges for Japan.
