The Kyodo news agency reported that the losses involved the shifting of funds through a dealer in Oman to the account of a company Ghosn effectively owned. The agency did not cite any sources. Footage of the vehicle leaving the residence showed its windows covered with curtains, making it impossible to see who was inside.
Ghosn was first arrested in Tokyo in November and faces charges of financial misconduct and aggravated breach of trust over allegedly failing to report about $82m in salary and temporarily transferring personal financial losses onto Nissan’s books during the financial crisis.Ghosn’s lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, called the latest arrest “inappropriate” and said he would hold a media conference in Tokyo later on Thursday.
