- Story Text:Former Nissan Motor's Representative Director Greg Kelly was granted bail by the Tokyo District Court on Tuesday (December 25), the court said, raising the prospect that he could be freed before the end of Christmas day.
Kelly's bail has been set at 70 million yen ($635,612), the court said in a statement.
Kelly has been detained along with ousted Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn since their arrest on Nov. 19 on suspicion of understating Ghosn's income on several years of financial statements.
Public broadcaster NHK and other media first reported the court granting bail to Kelly. The decision means Kelly could be released from detention as early as Tuesday, NHK said.
Prosecutors could appeal the court decision. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
