Prosecutors plan to indict former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn on two more charges of financial misconduct on Friday, a person with knowledge of the issue said, bringing the total number of charges against him to three.
Interrogation of Ghosn has been suspended, one of his lawyers had said earlier on Thursday, because the former Nissan chief had been experiencing a high fever since Wednesday evening and was prescribed rest by a doctor.
Ghosn, who has been detained since his initial arrest on Nov. 19 and whose current detention period is set to end Friday, is now expected to be formally charged on the day with aggravated breach of trust for temporarily transferring personal investment losses to Nissan in 2008, as well as for understating his compensation for three years through 2018. The charges, which have been widely expected, add to an earlier charge of under-reporting his income by around half through 2015.
