Former Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn ruled Friday that restricting his contacts with his wife, as decided by a court in Tokyo, was "cruel and useless," in a statement in English issued by his lawyers. "Restricting communications and the contact between my wife and me is cruel and unnecessary," said Carlos Ghosn, who has just been released on bail.
Carlos Ghosn was released from prison on Thursday night in Tokyo, but under strict conditions: "house arrest, prohibition to leave Japan and other conditions to prevent destruction of evidence and flight," said the court. Above all, he has the right to see his wife only "if the court approves a request" in this sense, said his lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, to the press. During his previous release, Carlos Ghosn was able to find his family in a rental apartment in Tokyo.
Carole Ghosn suspected of having contacted actors of the file
Carole Ghosn, in the visor of prosecutors for his role assumed in one of the components of the case, is further suspected by the prosecutor to have contacted protagonists of the case.
She has been mobilizing for weeks to denounce the treatment of her husband, who claims his innocence. His campaign is supported by several foreign and Japanese lawyers and international organizations, who believe that the Japanese judicial system does not respect the rights of defense, denouncing repeated interrogations, without a lawyer, while in police custody.
