Representatives for ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn lashed out against the Japanese automaker Tuesday afternoon, reiterating claims that there was a conspiracy to take down the high-profile executive.
The remarks from Ghosn's defense team comes a day before Ghosn is expected to publicly speak for the first timewhere he was under strict house arrest, to Lebanon on Dec. 30 to escape what he called a "rigged" justice system.
The statement claims Nissan's investigation into the executive about alleged financial misconduct and misuse of corporate resources was "never about finding the truth; it was initiated and carried out for the specific, predetermined purpose of taking down Carlos Ghosn to prevent him from further integrating Nissan and Renault, which threatened the independence of Nissan, one of Japan's iconic, flagship companies.
