Former Nissan boss CarlosGhosn hit with fresh charge in Japan

TOKYO - Japanese authorities on Monday hit former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn with a fresh charge of aggravated breach of trust, the fourth formal indictment against the auto sector tycoon.

Prosecutors are looking into allegations that Ghosn funnelled funds from Nissan to a dealership in the Middle East and siphoned off around five million dollars for his personal use. Japan's justice allows authorities to keep suspects in custody for prolonged periods and trials almost always result in a conviction - sparking outrage from outside the country.

Ghosn's lawyers have expression reservations that he will receive a fair trial as 99 per cent of all cases that come to trial end in a conviction.
