A year has passed since the arrest of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi CEO Carlos Ghosn, aged 65. He was arrested by Japanese police at Tokyo airport on 19 November 2018 and placed in pre-trial detention in Kosuge prison, where he spent 130 days confined in total isolation and held in inhumane conditions, according to his family and lawyers.

Since April 25, 2019, the latter has been granted conditional release. He is under house arrest in Tokyo awaiting his trial, which is scheduled to take place in April 2020, with a ban on seeing and communicating with his wife.



Reminder of the facts
The Franco-Lebanese-Brazilian, surrounded investor database by the greatest lawyers in the world, is preparing his defense against the four charges against him.

These are:
He is accused of failing to report 9.1 billion yen (76 million euros) in deferred compensation he would like to receive after leaving the company over an eight-year period in financial reports.
Two others for aggravated breach of trust . At the end of 2008, the first concerned the transfer to his group of personal financial contracts. The second is constituted by the fact of having used the reserve of the CEO of Nissan for money transfers of more than 30 million dollars to a distributor of Nissan vehicles in Oman, the company Suhal Bahwan Automobile, of which a part of these amounts would have returned to him indirectly. He would have used these funds in particular to buy a yacht and invest in a company managed by his son in the United States.


Carlos Ghosn faces a 10-year prison sentence for his omissions in declarations . For breach of trust, the maximum prison sentence is up to 15 years. He also risks fines of up to 1.25 million euros.

Let us also point out that in France, a preliminary investigation has been opened concerning the party organized by Carlos Ghosn at the Château de Versailles in 2016. The Renault board of directors has decided to file a complaint against him for improper expenses. The latter denies all the accusations and says he is the victim of a conspiracy.
