Tokyo District Court said Tuesday that the American Kelly will be released on 70 million yen ($635,600) bail. His release could come before the end of the day.
Kelly and Ghosn have been detained in Tokyo since their Nov. 19 arrest. They are charged with under-reporting Ghosn’s pay by about 5 billion yen ($44 million) in 2011-2015.
Kelly’s Japanese lawyer sought bail after the court dismissed prosecutors’ request for more detention.
Charges for their under-reporting allegation in more recent years are pending. Ghosn, also facing breach of trust allegations, would be detained at least until January 1.
