TOKYO—Carlos Ghosn’s “illegal” arrest has interrupted his care for chronic kidney failure, which the former Nissan Motor boss suffers from as a result of treatment for high cholesterol, his defense said in documents seen by Reuters on April 11.
Ghosn’s defense team, in documents prepared after their client, was arrested for the fourth time by Tokyo prosecutors last week—and the details of which have not been previously reported—allege the latest arrest was designed to interrupt the defense’s preparation and force a confession.
