TOKYO — The Tokyo District Court on Wednesday approved a request from prosecutors to hold Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn for an additional 10 days.

Ghosn, also chairman of Renault SA and Mitsubishi Motors Corp., was arrested by the prosecutors on Monday on suspicion of underreporting his pay package over five years from the business year ending March 2011.

The court also allowed them to extend the detention of Nissan Representative Director Greg Kelly, a close aide to Ghosn who was arrested with the chairman, for the same period.
