Carlos Ghosn will remain in jail until at least April 14 after a Japanese court granted prosecutors’ request to keep the former chairman of Nissan Motor Co. longer for questioning on new allegations of funneling millions of dollars from the automaker for his own purposes.
The court disclosed its decision in a statement on Friday. The former global auto titan, who once led Nissan, Renault SA and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. at the same time, had been free on bail for almost a month following a 108-day stint in a Tokyo jail. Prosecutors rearrested him on Thursday on fresh charges, saying they detained him because they thought he might destroy evidence.
