Japan court grants $4.5m bail to Carlos Ghosn
TOKYO, April 25, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – A Japanese court granted Carlos Ghosn
bail Thursday, meaning the former Nissan boss could soon walk out of his
Tokyo detention centre to prepare his defence against multiple charges of
financial misconduct.
The Tokyo District Court set bail at 500 million yen ($4.5 million) as the
65-year-old auto sector legend faces four charges ranging from concealing
part of his salary from shareholders to syphoning off Nissan funds for his
personal use.
