Tokyo police have sent papers to prosecutors on former yokozuna Asashoryu for allegedly assaulting an acquaintance while drunk during the New Year Grand Sumo Tournament in January, a source close to the investigation said Monday.
The source said the 29-year-old former sumo grand champion from Mongolia, whose real name is Dolgorsuren Dagvadorj, fractured the nose of a 39-year-old acquaintance with a punch while riding together in a car after drinking in Roppongi in the early hours of Jan. 16.
The former yokozuna told police in May that he had no intention of assaulting the man, saying, "My hand might have hit him in the car. I'm sorry for causing trouble."
After the incident, the victim submitted a copy of a medical certificate to the Azabu Police Station and the former yokozuna also submitted papers for an out-of-court settlement to the police on Feb. 2.
The victim later told police he was assaulted by Asashoryu but did not want him to be punished. The Metropolitan Police Department, however, determined Asashoryu intentionally hit the man and sent papers to prosecutors, according to the source.
Asashoryu announced his intention to retire on Feb. 4 as sumo's governing body was discussing his punishment.
