- Fugitive ex-Renault-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn’s legal team opened fire on Nissan Motor Co Ltd, charging the automaker used a “flawed, biased” internal investigation to engineer Ghosn’s arrest and stop him from more closely integrating Nissan and its French alliance partner Renault SA.
Ghosn was awaiting trial in Japan on charges of financial misconduct when he slipped away from his Tokyo residence, crossed Japan on a bullet train and was smuggled onto charter jets that delivered him from Osaka to Lebanon via Istanbul. Ghosn has said he fled a rigged Japanese justice system after authorities delayed his trial into 2021.
Japanese authorities on Monday issued an arrest warrant for Ghosn’s wife, Carole, for alleged perjury in connection with her husband’s financial dealings. In their statement, Ghosn’s lawyers said Nissan’s claim of “a robust, thorough internal investigation” is a “gross perversion of the truth.” Instead, the lawyers wrote, the investigation “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.”
