Sachiyo Nomura, the high-profile wife of Hanshin Tigers manager Katsuya Nomura, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly hiding roughly 570 million yen in income and evading 210 million yen in taxes.
The Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office reportedly suspects the 69-year-old Nomura instructed relatives and others involved to lie to authorities to cover her tracks.
She has largely admitted to the charges, investigative sources said.
