On Friday, the Tokyo District Court approved the detention of the 65-year-old until April 14 after prosecutors took Ghosn into custody over a new allegation that he was responsible for Nissan sustaining a $5m loss.
Ghosn faces three separate charges. The first two relate to the alleged deferring of around $80m in income and concealing it in official documents to shareholders.
