Carlos Ghosn will speak publicly on Tuesday for the first time since his arrest almost two months ago, when he appears in a Japanese court.
Handcuffed and with a rope tied around his waist, as is the practice in Japanese courts, the 64-year-old former Nissan Motor Co. chairman will declare his innocence and deny any wrongdoing, said his chief lawyer, Motonari Otsuru. After weeks in jail, where he is being held for alleged financial crimes, Ghosn will have 10 minutes to address the Tokyo district court.
