Hong Kong (CNN Business) Ousted Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn has been arrested in Japan on new charges, less than a month after he was released on bail. Prosecutors entered the former auto executive's Tokyo home early Thursday morning, and rearrested him on new allegations of financial misconduct. During a press briefing on Thursday, a spokesman for the prosecutors said Ghosn was rearrested partly because there was a possibility he could destroy evidence. Prosecutors accuse Ghosn of using Nissan funds for personal use. They allege that from 2015 to 2018, Nissan sent payments to an overseas dealer that was actually controlled by Ghosn.
