Ghosn: Former Nissan chief re-arrested on new claims in Japan

(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn has been re-arrested in Tokyo while out on bail pending trial over claims of financial misconduct.

Prosecutors had been building a new case against him involving payments to a dealership in Oman, Japanese media said.

In a statement, Mr Ghosn described the arrest as “outrageous and arbitrary”.

The auto boss, who denies any wrongdoing, was recently released on bail after 108 days in custody.
