Former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn abruptly canceled a press conference scheduled only hours before, at which he was due to “speak out” about his case. It would have been his first briefing in person since his arrest in November.
Only hours after announcing the hastily arranged briefing, reports emerged that Ghosn would not appear at the event and only his lawyer would speak. The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan then said that Ghosn’s lawyers had informed them that he had decided to cancel the briefing, citing opposition from his media adviser and family.
