Defense attorney said Ghosn will be detained until at least Wednesday because bail procedures cannot be carried out at night
A Japanese court Tuesday approved the release of former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn from prison on $8.9 million bail, but his detention was delayed when prosecutors filed a last-minute appeal to the court’s decision.
Prosecutors filed the appeal just hours before the court’s announcement to release Ghosn pending his trial for corporate misconduct.
Defense attorney Junichiro Hironaka said Ghosn will be detained at the Tokyo Detention Center until at least Wednesday because bail procedures cannot be carried out at night.
Ghosn reiterated in a statement he is « innocent » and said he was « grateful » for family and friends who supported him « throughout this terrible ordeal.
