Resumo
The arrest and detention of Carlos Ghosn attracted global attention to Japan's treatment of criminal suspects, often described as 'hostage justice.' Police and prosecutors easily obtain lengthy detentions of criminal suspects prior to filing formal charges during which time attorneys are prohibited from attending interrogations of their clients. Most suspects confess during these interrogations.
