Ghosn hit with fresh charge in Japan, files for bail eNCA
TOKYO - Japanese authorities on Monday hit Carlos Ghosn with a fresh charge of aggravated breach of trust, the fourth indictment against the former Nissan boss who promptly filed for bail.
The transfers were made"with the purpose of benefiting himself by receiving part of the money", prosecutors charged.Shin Kukimoto from the Tokyo prosecutors' office told reporters they had"enough evidence for guilty verdicts." Ghosn has already won bail once before -- but under strict conditions such as agreeing not to leave the country and living under surveillance.
The case of the executive, once revered in Japan for saving Nissan from the brink of bankruptcy, has also shone a spotlight on the Japanese legal system that has come in for some criticism, especially from abroad. Hironaka lashed out, saying this was an unnecessary step and"equivalent to forcing confession by taking into custody."
She was allegedly president of a company registered in the British Virgin Islands which received some of the five million dollars moved from Nissan funds to go towards a luxury yacht.
