A lawyer representing embattled former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn speculated Thursday that the first full trial in the case would probably not begin until next spring.
The attorney, Junichiro Hironaka, was uncertain how long the trial would last and also revealed Ghosn's defense team would ask the court later in the day to grant a meeting with his wife, Carole Ghosn.
They are not allowed to see each other as part of the bail conditions set following the auto executive's fourth arrest and indictment.
