Despite facing the most serious charges yet in his ongoing legal saga, former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn was granted bail for the second time on Thursday by the Tokyo District Court and was released from the Tokyo Detention House.
Thursday's bail was set at ¥500 million, which was already paid by Ghosn.
Earlier in the day prosecutors filed an objection but the court rejected it. The court made the decision partly because it determined there was no risk of evidence tampering, legal experts have said.
