Almost two months after his shock arrest in Tokyo, Carlos Ghosn remains at the mercy of the Japanese legal system, as prosecutors continue to build their case against the car industry titan. A Tokyo court extended the detention of the former Nissan Motor Co. chairman for another 10 days on New Year’s Eve after he was rearrested on fresh charges Dec. 21. Renault Group CEO Carlos Ghosn listens during a media conference at La Defense business district, outside Paris, France in October 2017. The former Nissan chairman Ghosn will be detained at least through Jan. 11, 2019. Japanese prosecutors rarely risk a not-guilty verdict.
