Carlos Ghosn, a French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizen, has said he is the victim of a boardroom coup. He is being held in the Tokyo Detention Center, where he spent 108 days after his initial arrest on Nov. 19. The Nikkei reported that his wife arrived back in Japan at Tokyo’s Haneda airport on Wednesday, quoting her as saying she wanted to tell a court that there was “absolutely nothing illegal.”
