Then, between 2009 and 2012, Mr. Ghosn had a Nissan subsidiary transfer a total of $14.7 million into an account controlled by that person, the statement said. By citing the new suspicions, prosecutors gained the right to hold Mr. Ghosn without bail for two days. They can then apply to the Tokyo District Court to extend that detention period by 10 days. It is rare for a court to reject a request to extend the detention period, said Tokyo deputy chief prosecutor Shin Kukimoto on Thursday. The new suspicions cited by prosecutors Friday did not involve Greg Kelly, a longtime aide to Mr. Ghosn who was charged with helping underreport Mr. Ghosn’s compensation.
