Takashi Takano said on his blog post Saturday the questioning continued through weekends, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Japan's judicial system has come under fire over Ghosn's case. Critics have for years said the prolonged detentions tend to coerce false confessions. Suspects can be detained even without any charges. Takano said he recently looked at prosecutors' data and Ghosn's notes to tally the hours of questioning for 70 of the days Ghosn was detained. On three days, Ghosn had been questioned for some 11 hours, according to Takano's tally.
In a news conference in Beirut lasting more than two hours, Ghosn reasserted his innocence, and accused Nissan and Japanese government officials of plotting his removal.
He is a crook. He stole money from Nissan. He lived above his means. He is no different than any thug mugging a little old lady.
Oh that poor man.😱🖕
