After spending more than three months in a Japanese jail, the former boss of Nissan, Carlos Ghosn, has been granted bail.
The Tokyo District Court set bail at one billion yen - just under nine million U.S. dollars - after a request last week by Ghosn's newly appointed legal team.
Two previous requests for bail were rejected as the court saw him as a flight risk.
The conditions for Tuesday's ruling are that he remains in Japan and be closely watched for any attempts to destroy evidence.
The disgraced motor industry mogul has been charged with financial misconduct but has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
Ghosn's release is not guaranteed, however.
Prosecutors have appealed the ruling and could file additional charges to keep him detained.
