Carlos Ghosn walked out of a Tokyo prison on bail after 108 days in detention, vowing to fight allegations of financial crimes that could imprison the former Nissan Motor Co. chairman for as long as a decade.

Flanked by police officers and wearing a light blue baseball cap, face mask and eyeglasses, Ghosn climbed into a silver Suzuki van and left the detention center where he’d been locked up since his Nov. 19 arrest. He went first to the office of one of his Japanese lawyers, where he changed into a business suit before leaving in a black Toyota minivan.
