"I'd like President Trump to speak to Prime
Minister Abe about fair conditions, fair trial conditions and to
let me speak to my husband and also to respect this presumption
of innocence until proven guilty," Beirut-born Carole Ghosn, who
has a U.S. passport, told the BBC.
Shinzo Abe is due to host other leaders of the Group of 20
economies in the Japanese city of Osaka on June 28-29.
Ghosn, who holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship, is
facing financial misconduct charges and has said he is the
victim of a boardroom coup, accusing "backstabbing" former
colleagues of conspiring to oust him as Nissan chairman.
Carole Ghosn said she had not spoken to her husband since he was
re-arrested on April 4 before being released on bail three weeks
later.
"They told him one of the bail conditions, the restrictions, is
he isn't allowed to speak to me or talk to me, which I find
inhumane," she said.
"All of this could have been dealt with internally within the
company. This didn't need to go this far and on top of it my
husband is innocent and time will prove the truth."
In April Carole Ghosn called on the French government to do more
to help her husband. Carlos Ghosn, who holds French, Lebanese
and Brazilian citizenship, has denied charges against him.
