A guilty plea from Mizuhara before a federal judge - likely to include an admission of a range of facts related to any illegal conduct - could confirm the account that Ohtani gave to reporters two weeks ago, in which he said he had no knowledge of what happened to the money.
Those briefed on the matter claim that prosecutors have uncovered evidence that Mizuhara may have stolen more money from Ohtani than the $4.5 million he was initially accused of pilfering.
The investigation has been jointly led by the Los Angeles offices of the Internal Revenue Service's criminal division and the Department of Homeland Security, along with the U.S. attorney's office for the Central District of California.
