The former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested in Japan on suspicion of underreporting his income, seems prepared to fight out his case and has asked for thriller books, according to the Brazilian consul general.
Joao de Mendonca Lima Neto, one of the few visitors Ghosn has been allowed to see under Japan’s stringent rules, said Ghosn was healthy and holding up well.
“My impression is that he is a strong man in the sense that he will fight this out properly. He doesn’t look worried,” Mendonca told The Associated Press on Wednesday at Brazil’s consulate in Tokyo. “I admire him for his fortitude.”
Mendonca declined comment on the specifics of the allegations against Ghosn, saying his job was about helping Brazilian citizens with their problems.
He said he has conveyed Ghosn’s verbal messages to his family and has relayed the family’s messages back.
