Former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn could leave his Tokyo detention centre on Wednesday after a court overnight upheld a shock decision to grant him ...
Ghosn shook up his legal team last month, hiring renowned defence attorney Junichiro Hironaka, who quickly filed a new bail request.
He will also be banned from contacting Nissan executives and other people with links to the allegations against him, the agency reported. In a shake-up of his legal team last month, Ghosn replaced a former prosecutor known as"the breaker" with Hironaka, who has earned the nickname"the acquitter" for his court record and the"razor" for his mental sharpness.Speaking to reporters on Monday, Hironaka had vowed a"completely new legal strategy" to obtain his client's release, and experts said the change of tack appeared to be behind the surprise bail ruling.
A towering figure once revered in Japan for turning around Nissan's fortunes, Ghosn also forged a successful alliance between Nissan, Mitsubishi Motors and France's Renault.
