水原容疑者、罪認め司法取引 大谷選手から26億円超窃盗

水原一平容疑者

 【ロサンゼルス共同】米司法省は8日、大リーグ、ドジャースの大谷翔平選手(29)の元通訳、水原一平容疑者(39)が大谷選手の口座から約1700万ドル(約26億4400万円)を盗んだとする銀行詐欺などの罪を認め、司法取引に応じたと発表した。連邦地検は刑の軽減を申し入れる。水原容疑者は14日に罪状認否のためカリフォルニア州の連邦地裁に出廷する。

 連邦地検によると、水原容疑者は2021年~24年、違法スポーツ賭博で抱えた借金返済のため、大谷選手の口座から賭博の胴元側に不正に送金したとされる。また地検は8日、水原容疑者が22年の課税所得を約13万ドルと税務当局に報告し、大谷選手の口座から得た410万ドルが未申告だったとして、新たに虚偽の納税申告容疑で訴追したと明らかにした。

 米メディアは、最高で禁錮33年が科される可能性があるとしている。

 連邦地検は、大谷選手は送金を知らず、許可もしておらず被害者だと強調。送金のために水原容疑者が大谷選手を装って銀行に電話したのは、25回ほどと明らかにした。
