The former interpreter of Japanese baseball star Shohei Ohtani has agreed to plead guilty to US charges that he illegally transferred nearly $17m (£14m) from the athlete's bank account.
In a deal between Ippei Mizuhara and Los Angeles prosecutors, he pleaded guilty to counts of bank fraud and subscribing to a false tax return.
Prosecutors say he used the LA Dodgers star's money to pay off his own debts.
The case shocked baseball fans in Japan and America when news broke in March.
