(5 Dec 2018) The former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested in Japan on suspicion of underreporting his income, said he is being well treated in detention and has asked for thriller books, according to the Brazilian consul general. Joao de Mendonca Lima Neto, one of the few visitors Ghosn has been allowed to see under Japan's stringent rules, said Ghosn was healthy and holding up well. He also said Ghosn is wearing his own clothes while detained. Mendonca declined comment on the specifics of the allegations against Ghosn, saying his job was about helping Brazilian citizens with their problems. Ghosn, who headed the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors auto alliance, was arrested last month on suspicion he underreported his income by millions of dollars for years at a time. Born in Brazil, Ghosn holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenships. Only representatives of a suspect's home country and attorneys can visit suspects in detention in Japan. Consular officials have visited Ghosn four times in the last two weeks, Mendonca said.
