Carlos Ghosn will finally see the inside of a court room next week, almost two months after his arrest on financial crimes.
The embattled car titan will attend a hearing of the Tokyo District Court on Tuesday, according to his chief lawyer, Motonari Otsuru. The session was called after Ghosn's legal team requested an explanation on why the former Nissan Motor Co. chairman — who was taken into custody Nov. 19, and has had his detention extended repeatedly — remains in jail.
The request means that a reason for the detention, which was extended for another 10 days on Monday, must be disclosed within five days. The court said Friday it has decided to begin necessary procedures from 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday.
