Former interpreter of baseball star pleads guilty to embezzling funds to settle gambling debt

A former Los Angeles Dodgers player's interpreter entered a guilty plea on Tuesday, admitting to stealing millions of dollars from the player to settle his personal gambling debts.

The accused admitted to stealing millions from his client starting in 2021 when he placed wagers using an unlicensed bookkeeper. The perpetrator had moved at least $17 million out of his client's bank account, and he had access to both the player's bank account and passwords.
