Former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn has filed a complaint after his three-week detention by Japanese authorities was extended by another 10 days.
The Tokyo District Court said Tuesday that it had approved extending the detention of Ghosn and Greg Kelly, a former Nissan director accused of helping Ghosn under-report his income, through December 20. Both men were first arrested on November 19.
Ghosn has filed a complaint against the extension, the court said.
The legal move by Ghosn is notable because he and Kelly are yet to issue any public statements about their arrest and the allegations against them.
Ghosn has remained silent as the boards of Nissan ( NSANY) and its partner Mitsubishi Motors ( MMTOF) have fired him as chairman, and as France’s Renault ( RNSDF) has temporarily replaced him as chairman and CEO.
