The drama surrounding fallen auto executive Carlos Ghosn erupted again, with Japanese prosecutors rearresting him on fresh allegations that he used millions of dollars from Nissan Motor Co. for his own purposes.
Authorities showed up at Ghosn’s Tokyo apartment shortly before 6 a.m. on Thursday to detain him on suspicion of aggravated breach of trust, using company money funneled through an intermediary for personal purposes, prosecutors said in a statement. They’re the most serious charges yet against Ghosn, who had been free on bail for less than a month.
“My arrest this morning is outrageous and arbitrary,” Ghosn said in a statement.
