Ghosn lawyers file 2nd appeal over unusual detention after USD 9 mn bail

Carlos Ghosn's defence lawyers filed their second appeal against his latest detention on Wednesday, Kyodo news reported, as the ousted chairman of Nissan Motor Co seeks a formal explanation for his re-arrest. In a highly unusual move, Ghosn was re-arrested on Thursday on fresh allegations that he used company funds to enrich himself by $5 million after he had been released on bail for 30 days after paying $9 million. He already has been charged with under-reporting his Nissan salary for a decade and of temporarily transferring personal financial losses to Nissan's books.
