TOKYO—The lawyers of former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who is awaiting trial in Japan, said Oct. 24 they have requested that financial misconduct charges against him be dismissed.

They said in a statement that they filed papers in Tokyo District Court alleging prosecutorial misconduct that would prevent Ghosn from having a fair trial.
