TOKYO -- Lawyers for Carlos Ghosn on Wednesday refused to let Japanese prosecutors take a personal computer used by the former Nissan Motor chairman, in a sign that the legal wrangling over his case continues even after his flight to Lebanon.
Officials from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office on Wednesday morning briefly visited a building here housing the offices of Junichiro Hironaka, Ghosn's lead counsel. Though they presented a warrant for the seizure of the computer, the defense team blocked them from even entering the office, according to a source familiar with the situation.
