Now the ousted Nissan Motor Co. chairman is making a last-ditch effort to win release on bail by pledging to remain in Japan before his trial for alleged financial misconduct. He’s even offered to wear an electronic tracker and be monitored by private security guards, both at his own expense, according to a person familiar with the situation.
“I will reside in Japan and respect any and all bail conditions the court concludes are warranted," the 64-year-old said in a statement. “I will attend my trial not only because I am legally obligated to do so, but because I am eager to finally have the opportunity to defend myself."

If released, he’s willing to surrender his passport, offer shares as collateral and refrain from contact with anyone who could be a witness against him, the person said, asking not to be identified discussing private matters. Ghosn’s previous requests for release envisioned him heading to France, where he’s a citizen, before returning to Japan for trial.
