Ex-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn hit by fresh charge
Former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn has been indicted on a fresh charge of aggravated breach of trust by Japanese prosecutors.
Mr Ghosn stands accused of enriching himself to the tune of $5m
(£3.8m) at Nissan’s expense and the latest charge, announced on Monday,
is the fourth brought against him. He has already been indicted with understating his pay and abuse by transferring unrealised trading losses.
Monday’s charges came after Nissan filed a criminal complaint against its former boss. “Such misconduct is completely unacceptable, and Nissan is requesting
appropriately strict penalties,” the Japanese carmaker said.
Nissan believed it had been harmed by Ghosn’s misconduct. “Such misconduct is
completely unacceptable, and Nissan is requesting appropriately strict
penalties.”
The charge, on Monday, ensures that Ghosn will remain in custody pending another bail attempt by his lawyers.
