Court rejects Ghosn's appeal of detention

The appeal by the lawyers for Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's former chairman, against his prolonged detention since his arrest on Nov 19 was rejected on Wednesday by a Tokyo court. Ghosn's detention on suspicion of breach of trust had been approved through Friday, and likely will be extended. The lawyers and Ghosn argued in court on Tuesday against the detention. In his first public appearance since arrested, Ghosn asserted his innocence.
