It’s been a while since we last heard about the Carlos Ghosn case. By the way, we are talking about the former head of the Renault-Nissan alliance, who is accused of numerous financial embezzlements to the detriment of the company. Salaries are too high, personal expenses at the expense of Renault, in short, the leader had a lot of work to do. He was stopped at the end of 2018 when he landed in Japan and was quickly imprisoned. Before escaping a few months later, with a script worthy of the best Hollywood movies. He now lives in Lebanon, where he is protected by the law.

Damages

But it’s far from over for the man now replaced by Luca de Meo at the helm of the Renault brand. Indeed, if he can no longer sit in prison, the former boss now wants to protect himself. For this, the latter has just filed an appeal to Court of Cassation in Lebanon against Nissan. He demanded that the developer pay him more than a billion dollars in compensation. The former CEO accuses him of ” fabricated charges against him in Japan, leading to his arrest and prosecution“. And now he wants justice to be done.

Future hearing

The former manager says that he is indeed the victim of a smear campaign and claims that the producer used the excuse of his reward as a means ” found conspirators to get rid of him as chairman of the board“. Carlos Ghosn lists the allegations against Nissan that are coming from trespassing to perjury through denigration. A hearing is scheduled for the next few weeks to determine the possible outcome of this incredible case.
