TOKYO - Former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn was preparing to leave detention as early as Wednesday after posting 1 billion yen ($8.9 million) in bail once an appeal by prosecutors against his release was rejected. That clears the way for him to leave the Spartan conditions of the Tokyo Detention Center, where he has been held since his Nov. 19 arrest.
