Pre-trial detention is common worldwide. In this case, it was loosened. (Clearly, too much.)

It's not proven. That was for the trial to conclude. Criminal efforts in Japan, France and elsewhere will continue.
There is a preponderance of evidence, the legal standard in most jurisdictions, for bringing charges around embezzlement. I agree the compensation charges were weak. But they weren't the bombshell.
In any case, we'll get the facts over the coming years. The Japanese case will continue. And Ghosn fleeing will likely prompt investigations in the United States, at the very least for asset seizure.
