The court set bail at one billion yen (£6.8m; $8.9m) and Japanese media reports said he could be released as early as Tuesday.
...Prosecutors in Tokyo were expected to file an appeal against the decision to grant bail, which requires Mr Ghosn stay in Japan and be placed under video surveillance.

On second thought, DON'T LEAVE HOME.
Mr Ghosn may have padded his accounts a bit? Maybe not.
Looking like the Japanese prefer natives to have any juice.
Therefore take him out, any means necessary.
Just a bit racist, xenophobes. Maybe.
Japanese BAIL..?
Wow, I’ve never heard of that, but meh:
There’s tons of foreign attention on this case, so I guess the Japanese legal system is throwing on a makeshift ghost outfit for Halloween, pretending to be some other legal system.
Wow, this is weird.
Maybe cuz of the impending Olympics..?
Ever been to Japan? I used to have to go to Camp Zama once a month and a buddy of mine (Japanese-American) was the DEA attaché in Tokyo. He was a first-generation American and the son of Japanese immigrants. He once told me, “If foreigners had ANY idea of the meaning of the little, racist things the Japanese do to demean ‘gaijin’ and they don’t even realize it.” Anyone who thinks America is racist needs to visit Japan.
Ever been to Japan?
Only in short visits as a tourist.
It’s changed quite a bit (they’ve depopulated themselves do much that it’s either import foreigners or no one pays the taxes that support the elderly), but Ghosn was given a raw deal. I say he makes bail and then drips into the local embassy.
Interesting. The DEA agent I mentioned in my last post sent me an article a couple of years ago. The article stated that many Japanese men were no longer interested in marriage or sex. He thought it was funny because he hated Japan. He was considered ‘gaijin’ because, even though he was of 100% Japanese extraction and spoke flawless Japanese, he wasn’t born there and got treated horribly.

I speak it flawlessly and am completely white, but the problem isn’t men not being interested in sex. THEY’RE VERY INTERESTED IN SEX. They have a whole legal prostitution industry for it.
The issue with Japan and Europe and Russia is the lack of religion and the creep of self-centered-ness associated.
With Christianity, Judaism, and Islam (and I’m only equating the eternal view here, not the quality of the religions), there’s a sense that we’re not the central purpose of our own lives, so we create families and stick with them more readily as we see ourselves as part of a larger thing.
As Japan is pretty much 90% agnostic (Buddhism and Shintoism being cultural features and not religion per se), people are reliably self-centered, which results in few if no children and money spent on goods to please oneself and not to foster a family. The Japanese have a massive turning point in a few years that they’re seeing take hold now. You have Indians, Malaysians, Vietnamese working here and there in convenience stores, as nurses, and so on. They get a work visa for five years. The Japanese will eventually have to allow for permanent residency and then chain migration.
They will eventually see cultural encroachment from other communities and will feel pressured to do something.
I think in the next decade you will see the Japanese return to a cultural nationalism and start making babies above the replacement amount. You are also seeing (thanks to Matt Shlapp and others) conservatism being marketed in Japan. This is the second thing that needs to change - tax cuts.
If those two things occur, Japan will change. If not, it will be like an Asian-America, but with nicer buildings.
