Bail will enable the former titan of the global auto industry to better prepare for his criminal trial expected later this year.
He's facing a charge of aggravated breach of trust and three other accusations of financial misdoing during his time at the helm of Japan's No. 2 automaker.TOKYO - Former Nissan Motor Chairman Carlos Ghosn was set to walk out of a Japanese detention center for a second time since his arrest last year on financial misconduct charges, after posting the $4.5 million bail set by a Tokyo court on Thursday.
Ghosn has denied all four charges against him, which include understating his income and temporarily transferring personal financial losses onto Nissan's books. The once-feted executive will be free to leave the detention center where he has been in custody since his April 4 re-arrest, but his movements and communications will be strictly monitored and restricted to prevent fleeing the country and tampering with evidence, the court said.Ghosn's lawyers filed the bail request on Monday after the former executive was indicted for allegedly enriching himself at a cost of $5 million to Nissan from July 2017 through July 2018.
He was initially released last month, but then re-arrested earlier this month on the new charges, returning to the Tokyo detention center where he had previously spent 108 days following his first arrest in November.
