TOKYO — A Tokyo court on Tuesday granted a request for bail by Carlos Ghosn, the former auto executive facing charges of financial wrongdoing in Japan, his lawyer’s office said, but added it would be “impossible” for him to be released the same day because of an appeal by the prosecutor’s office.

The court set his bail at 1 billion yen, or almost $9 million.

Mr. Ghosn, 64, who was until recently head of the alliance that united Nissan Motor, Mitsubishi Motors of Japan and Renault of France, had his bail request granted more than three months after he was arrested on suspicion of underreporting his income by more than $80 million and improperly saddling Nissan with his personal investment losses. He denies the allegations.

Prosecutors have appealed the court’s decision. A ruling could come on Wednesday.

Mr. Ghosn, who was taken away by the authorities on Nov. 19 from a corporate jet at a Tokyo airport, has been held in jail for 107 days as prosecutors work to build their case against him.

This was his third bail request, and the first by his new legal team, headed by Junichiro Hironaka — a high-profile defense lawyer famous for winning acquittal for clients caught up in some of the country’s toughest legal battles.
