Ex-Nissan chief Ghosn arrested for new financial default charges | News
Former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn has been accused in Tokyo of fresh financial misunderstandings.
The government arrested the 65-year-old after he was dramatically released on citizen last month in Japan after more than 100 days in prison.
According to local media, the prosecutors introduced Ghosn's temporary accommodation early in the Thursday morning in Tokyo's downtown early, and he left with them shortly afterwards.
The attack, which Ghosn called "outrageous and arbitrary", was the last twist in a case that has seized Japan and business since November.
"It is part of another attempt by some people on Nissan to mislead the accusations. Why arrest me except to try to break me? I will not be destroyed," he said, insisting that he was innocent.
Reports were submitted on Wednesday that the prosecution weighted backing Ghosn as they investigated at least $ 32 million in Nissan funds transferred to a distributor in Oman.
The former high-flying director is already facing three charges of financial misconduct to the allegations he underreported his compensation and attempted to transfer personal losses on the investment to Nissan's books.
He has denied anything wrong and took to Twitter for the first time on Wednesday, using a newly created account that his spokesmen confirmed was authentic, to announce plans for a press conference.
"I'm ready to tell the truth about what's happening. Press conference Thursday, April 1[ads1]1," said the tweet, sent in English and then Japanese.
A Nissan spokesman said the company's internal probe had uncovered "significant evidence of blatant unethical conduct" and that their focus was on "tackling governance weaknesses that enabled it to do so."
Ghosn is currently two separate charges to postpone his salary to a lot of nine billion yen ($ 81 million) and does not disclose this in official documents to the shareholders.
The pioneer of the Brazilian automotive industry, which is largely credited with saving Nissan from the bankruptcy industry, is also facing an attempt to shift its personal losses on Nissan's books and then use corporate funds to pay a Saudi affiliation that stumped up Security for him.
Ghosn was first arrested at a Tokyo airport on November 19 last year. He has since been arrested on several occasions over a number of charges, hired a little used article of Japanese law to force a day in court and appeared on the bail dressed in a workman's uniform and hat in a bizarre attempt to avoid the media. 19659004] Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors removed Ghosn as head of the arrest as he retired as chief executive and managing director of Renault in January.
Nissan will hold an extraordinary general meeting Monday to remove Ghosn from the board and take in Renault's new chairman Jean-Dominique Senard as a new member.
