Ex-ozeki’s illegal hires prove bad bet

NAGOYA – Former sumo wrestler Kotomitsuki was arrested Wednesday for allegedly employing non-Japanese without valid visas at his barbecue restaurant in Nagoya, police said.

The former ozeki, whose real name is Keiji Tamiya, 37, employed a Chinese person and a Thai person despite knowing that the former had overstayed his visa and the latter had entered Japan illegally, the police said.

The two non-Japanese were arrested last month on suspicion of violating the immigration control law.

Besides Kotomitsuki, a Japanese man in his 30s who works at the restaurant was also arrested, according to the police...

On the evening news, Mr. Tamiya admitted to employing the foreigners, but claimed he did not know about their illegal status. So "allegedly employed" does not apply here.

Lol. Can I use this interpretation elsewhere. Not chuckled so much for a while.
