Bruno Maire rejects any political intervention to help Carlos Ghosn

Political interventions might not be the best way to help ousted car executive Carlos Ghosn, French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire told FranceInfo radio on Tuesday.

"I am not certain that political interventions are necessarily the best way to help," said Le Maire, in response to calls by Ghosn's wife Carole for the French government and President Emmanuel Macron to do more to help Carlos Ghosn. Japanese prosecutors last week took the highly unusual step of re-arresting Ghosn, who faces charges of financial misconduct which he denies.
