TOKYO, April 10 — Carlos Ghosn’s defence lawyers filed their second appeal against his latest detention today, Kyodo news reported, as the ousted chairman of Nissan Motor Co seeks a formal explanation for his re-arrest.
In a highly unusual move, Ghosn was re-arrested on Thursday on fresh allegations that he used company funds to enrich himself by US$5 million (RM20.5 million), after he had been released on bail for 30 days after paying US$9 million.
He already has been charged with under-reporting his Nissan salary for a decade and of temporarily transferring personal financial losses to Nissan’s books. — Reuters
