Former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn will “vigorously” defend himself in a Japanese court this week after refusing to sign a confession in return for being released from custody, his son has told a French Sunday newspaper. He will give his version of events for the first time, his son Anthony told the French weekly newspaper Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD). Anthony told the JDD that his father would be released if he signed a confession. “He is ready to defend himself vigorously and is very focused on the goal of responding to the accusations against him. Prosecutors have pressed formal charges over the first allegation — that Ghosn under-reported his salary between 2010-2015 — but not yet over the other accusations.
