The Tokyo District Court said it had approved the request by prosecutors to detain Ghosn until April 14. The decision was widely expected after prosecutors arrested Ghosn for the fourth time at his Tokyo apartment on Thursday. In a statement on Thursday, Ghosn said he was innocent of the “groundless charges and accusations” against him. The once-feted executive, who has said he is the victim of a boardroom coup, also called the latest arrest an attempt to silence him.
Thursday’s arrest came 30 days after Ghosn was released on $9 million bail from a Tokyo detention center. Legal experts have characterized the move as rare for someone already released on bail.
