Ghosn ‘may be released’ after Japan court rejects detention request 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PresseA Japanese court on Thursday rejected prosecutors’ request to extend the detention of former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn after his arrest for financial misconduct, with local media saying he may now be released as early as Friday. The Tokyo District Court said a longer detention had been asked for but was refused. A range of additional claims of financial misconduct have been made against Ghosn, including using Nissan funds to purchase homes around the world, though prosecutors have yet to level those accusations formally. He and his former right-hand man Greg Kelly, who is also under arrest, have reportedly denied any wrongdoing.
