Carlos Ghosn's new lead defence lawyer said Monday his "convincing" new bail application for the former Nissan boss contained fresh elements he hoped would lead to his release "as soon as possible."
"Why am I being punished before being found guilty?" Ghosn asked, adding that such a situation "would not be normal in any other democracy." Hironaka took over after Ghosn's previous legal team stepped aside and said he said he would be approaching the case with a "completely new strategy."
