According to a report by Reuters, on Tuesday, a Japanese court rejected a last-minute attempt by prosecutors to keep former Nissan Motor Chairman Carlos Ghosn in prison, ruling that he could be released on 8.9 million dollars bail after over 100 days in detention. The Tokyo District Court reportedly said it had rejected an appeal by prosecutors who looked to keep him in prison until his trial for financial misconduct. Reuters reports that the decision paves the way for Ghosn's release as early as Wednesday and marks a victory for his newly assembled legal team, spearheaded by a lawyer known as 'the Razor.'
According to a report by Reuters, on Tuesday, a Japanese court rejected prosecutors appeal against a decision to grant the ousted former chairman of Nissan Motor bail, paving the way for Carlos Ghosn to leave prison as early as Wednesday. Reuters reports that the Tokyo District Court said that it had ruled against the appeal, after earlier setting bail for Ghosn at approximately 9 million dollars. Ghosn reportedly faces charges of aggravated breach of trust and under-reporting his compensation to the tune of $82 million dollars at Nissan for almost a decade.
TOKYO -- A Tokyo court on Tuesday rejected ousted Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn's appeal to end his detention following his arrest last month on allegations of financial misconduct. In the past, suspects who have been indicted have seldom been freed on bail, but in recent years that has become more common, said Masashi Akita, a defense lawyer. Ghosn’s lawyers say the charge that Ghosn helped himself by converting compensation to deferred pay is flawed because the compensation agreement was not properly ratified, according to a statement by the office of Motonari Otsuru, Ghosn’s lawyer.
Reuters reports that former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn was released on bail from a Tokyo jail on Thursday. Ghosn said he was grateful bail had been granted. However, he denounced conditions limiting contact with his wife the Tokyo District Court put in place. Ghosn cannot meet or otherwise communicate with his wife Carole without prior permission, according to his defense lawyer. Ghosn added that he maintains his innocence.
TOKYO (Reuters) - Former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn was set to walk out of a Japanese jail for a second time since his arrest last year on financial misconduct charges, after posting $4.5 million bail on Thursday and agreeing to curbs on contacting his wife. A Tokyo court set a new condition for bail that Ghosn cannot meet or otherwise communicate with his wife Carole without prior permission, according to his defense lawyer.
