TOKYO - Japanese prosecutors arrested ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn for a fourth time on Thursday on charges of trying to enrich himself to the tune of $5 million at the automaker’s expense, in what media reports linked to payments to an Omani dealer.
Tokyo prosecutors said Ghosn had caused Nissan Motor Co Ltd $5 million in losses over a 2-1/2-year period to July 2018, in breach of his legal duties to Nissan and with the goal of enriching himself. More than a dozen officials from the Tokyo prosecutor’s office visited his residence early on Thursday and asked him to submit to questioning, NHK said. A silver van believed to be carrying Ghosn later left the residence, it said.
“I was scheduled to present my story in a press conference next week; by arresting me again, the prosecutors have denied me that opportunity, for now, but I am determined that the truth will come out. I am confident that if tried fairly, I will be vindicated.” Nissan had previously established its own regional subsidiary made questionable payments of more than $30 million to the Oman distributor, Suhail Bahwan Automobiles .
