ゴーン被告の主張「虚偽」　日本批判に会見で反論―東京地検

　日産自動車の前会長カルロス・ゴーン被告（６５）が中東レバノンに逃亡した事件で、東京地検の斎藤隆博次席検事は９日の定例会見で、被告がレバノンで海外メディアを前に展開した日本の司法制度批判について、「虚偽だ」と反論した。次席検事は「日本への誤解や間違った情報を正す必要がある」と述べ、逮捕勾留中の取り調べ状況も明かした。
　斎藤次席検事は、ゴーン被告の身柄を拘束していた約１３０日間の取り調べ状況について、「実際に取り調べたのは７０日強で、１日平均は４時間弱だった」と説明。ゴーン被告が訴えた「一日最長８時間の取り調べを受けた」との発言内容を否定した。
　さらに、拘束期間中もほぼ連日、弁護人との接見が認められていたとし、被告の「弁護士の援助を受けられなかった」との発言も「虚偽」と断じた。（2020/01/09-20:19）

Former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn made false claims about Japan's judicial system during a press conference he held in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Wednesday, a senior Japanese prosecutor said Thursday.
   "We need to correct misunderstandings and wrong information about Japan," Takahiro Saito, deputy chief of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, told a regular press conference in Tokyo.
    The prosecutors office questioned Ghosn for a total of some 70 days while he was detained for some 130 days in Japan, Saito said, adding that slightly less than four hours were spent per day on average on the questioning of the former boss of the major Japanese automaker.
   At Wednesday's press conference, Ghosn claimed that Japanese prosecutors' daily questioning took up to eight hours.
   Saito also said that Ghosn was allowed to see his lawyers almost every day during the detention, rejecting Ghosn's statement that he was unable to receive support from his lawyers.
