The wife of former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn has returned to Japan where she is to be questioned by prosecutors about her husband's alleged financial misconduct, the couple's lawyer said Wednesday.

Carole Ghosn left Japan last week after fresh accusations against her husband emerged, saying she felt "in danger" after Japanese media reported that prosecutors wanted to talk to her.

Prosecutors rearrested Ghosn on April 4, saying they were investigating transfers of Nissan funds totalling USD 15 million between late 2014 and the middle of 2018 to a dealership in Oman.

His lawyers have appealed his ongoing detention.

Carole Ghosn "has returned to Japan", the couple's lawyer Francois Zimeray told AFP.

"That is proof that she never intended to run away from anybody."
