Ghosn's new attorney, Junichiro Hironaka, who has won acquittals for clients in a number of high-profile cases, said a surveillance camera would be placed at the entrance to an apartment in Tokyo designated by the court. The former Nissan boss's computer and mobile phones will also be blocked from internet access. Footage from the surveillance camera will be submitted regularly to the court.
...
As a final condition of his release, Ghosn's lawyers will hold his three passports -- Lebanese, Brazilian, and French -- to ensure he does not attempt to leave the country.

At least he can be more comfortable, more easily prepare for his trial and not have to face interrogations in jaii w/o his lawyer present. Will be very interesting to hear about the trial and the outcome.

Would love to read his memoirs after this is all done. Guessing Nissan has a lot of skeletons in their closet and Ghosn no longer has any reason to keep them there.

If Ghosn ever gets out of jail he can go work for the Mafia.
He has an outstanding resume in embezzlement and money laundering.
