BREAKING! Things Get WORSE For Ex-Nissan Chairman, Carlos Ghosn, As He's REARRESTED

The drama around Nissan's ex-chairman, Carlos Ghosn, continues. I have to admit, this is starting to turn into a bit of a soap opera.

Although it seemed as though Ghosn would be granted bail today (Friday in Japan) and he even spoke out via his lawyer, the tides have turned. According to reports, Ghosn was rearrested today.

The charges? Aggravated breach of trust. These are based on all-new allegations that Ghosn placed personal investment losses onto Nissan.

This means that Ghosn may be detained for an additional 10 days in a Tokyo jail.

A Tokyo court had unexpectedly rejected prosecutors’ request to extend Ghosn’s detention a day earlier, which raised the possibility that he could go free on bail as early as Friday. 

The re-arrest means he could be detained for another 10 days in a Tokyo jail, where he has been confined since he was arrested on initial allegations of financial misconduct...

The more you read the more it sounds like collusion between the CEO of Nissan who would have lost his job and the Japanese government to get Ghson, not that he was totally without fault. The legal Japanese practice of extending confinement by a series of perfectly timed sequential arrests is a manner of intimidation, we can keep this up for months maybe even a year or more until you confess, reach a plea bargain or we go to court, They are counting on Ghson feeling the loss of his great power and luxury jet setting life style will cause him to submit and eek a solution he might not otherwise if he was not in jail.
