An audio recording allegedly captured Shohei Ohtani's former interpreter Ippei Mizuhara impersonating the Dodgers star on a call with a bank.

Mizuhara allegedly had already obtained access to Ohtani's bank accounts and changed security credentials to give himself entry. The person on the tape tells the bank employee that he is Shohei Ohtani, then provides a phone number to the bank for authorization -- a number that prosecutors say belonged to Mizuhara.

Ippei Mizuhara, who previously served as the interpreter for Los Angeles Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, has submitted a letter to Honorable Judge John W. Holcomb, requesting an 18-month prison sentence for his bank fraud charges.
