Carlos Ghosn very affected by time in jail, lawyer states

Former Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has been very affected by the 107 days he spent in a Tokyo prison, his French lawyer Francois Zimeray stated on RTL radio station on Wednesday.

“His detention was very long, and very tough,” his lawyer stated, adding Ghosn had to sleep with the light on, for example. Ghosn now wanted to spend time with his family, he stated.

Ghosn, who is facing charges related to financial misconduct, walked out of prison on Wednesday slipping past reporters in a face mask.

He has rejected the charges.
