Carlos Ghosn’s new lawyer escalated his public appeal to release the former Nissan Motor Co. chairman from prison by hinting at the involvement of a “higher power” in the case and questioning why only Ghosn and an associate have been accused of crimes so far.
Junichiro Hironaka, the lawyer hired by Ghosn last month, also said Monday his team is bringing new ideas and strategies after Ghosn’s previous legal representatives twice failed to win bail for him. Hironaka filed another request last week as Ghosn’s detention surpassed 100 days. The court hasn’t ruled yet, though Hironaka said such a long detention is “extremely unfair.”
