Tokyo court denies ex-Nissan chief Ghosn’s bail request

TOKYO, Jan 15, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A Tokyo court on Tuesday rejected a
request for bail for ex-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn, who faces three charges of
financial misconduct and has been detained since November.

The decision was widely expected, with Ghosn’s own lawyer saying last week
that his client was unlikely to win bail until the case comes to court, which
could take six months.
