At the time of his arrest, he had been seeking a full merger of the companies, an idea opposed by many Nissan executives.
Early on Wednesday, a car from the Embassy of France, where Ghosn holds nationality, arrived at the detention centre in eastern Tokyo as media helicopters swirled overhead. Ghosn has also agreed to set up cameras at the entrances and exits to his residence and is prohibited from using the internet or sending and receiving text messages. He is banned from communicating with parties involved in his case, and permitted computer access only at his lawyer’s office.
Release would allow Ghosn, who turns 65 on Saturday, to meet his new legal team more frequently and build a defence ahead of his trial. The case has cast a harsh light on Japan’s criminal justice system, which allows suspects to be detained for long periods and prohibits defence lawyers from being present during interrogations that can last eight hours a day.
He deserve it
