UPDATED: Former Nissan chairman Ghosn released after posting bail
A man presumably former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn, center with blue cap, leaves Tokyo's Detention Center in Tokyo, Wednesday, March 6, 2019, after posting 1 billion yen in bail once an appeal by prosecutors against his release was rejected. Last Updated Wednesday, March 6, 2019 4:01AM EST
The man's identity could not immediately be confirmed with authorities, but the resemblance was clear. The Tokyo District Court confirmed the 1 billion yen bail was posted earlier in the day, after a judge rejected an appeal from prosecutors requesting his continued detention. That cleared the way for Ghosn to leave the facility after spending nearly four months since his arrest on Nov. 19.
Prosecutors contend that suspects may tamper with evidence and shouldn't be released. Two of Ghosn's earlier requests to be released on bail were rejected.
