Ghosn: Bail conditions revealed by lawyer
The lawyer for former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn has revealed the terms his client had to meet to secure his initial release from custody on bail. Conditions the 65-year-old had faced included using a sole computer, in his lawyer's office, and one mobile phone. A 24-hour surveillance camera also had to be installed at the entrance of his court-approved permanent residence.
Mr Ghosn was re-arrested in Tokyo last week, pending trial over claims of financial misconduct. He has been detained over suspicions that he tried to enrich himself at the carmaker's expense. In a statement, Mr Ghosn - who denies any wrongdoing - said his re-arrest was "outrageous and arbitrary".

I can't find any mention anywhere of Shintaro Abe's War record (Shinzō Abe's Dad), or even mention on whether he served in the Japanese military. He would have been 21 when the War ended, so it is possible.
The Nippon Kaigi thing is quite interesting. I did not know those sorts of extremist right wing groups were still around in Japan. I had thought they were closed down by the CIA once they had finished murdering as many left-wing opposition figures as they could.

That doesn't mean Ghosn is innocent. Do you think those Oman payments are fabricated? Maybe the Japanese were willing to overlook some petty theft, as long as the French didn't cross them.
