) boss Carlos Ghosn is set to hold on Wednesday his first live news conference since his arrest in November 2018 on financial misconduct charges, saying his escape from Japan has meant he can communicate “freely”.
Ghosn, who fled to his childhood home of Lebanon just over a week ago, has gone from being one of the world’s best-known businessmen to an international fugitive in a little over a year. He is due to address reporters in Beirut at 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday.The news conference will give Ghosn a chance to further detail his assertions that Nissan executives, with help from the Japanese government, conspired to orchestrate his downfall to prevent Nissan being merged with alliance partner Renault.
That video was edited by his legal team to remove the names of people Ghosn accused of treachery due to legal concerns. Attention has also focused on another Nissan executive who helped oust Ghosn but was later hit himself by allegations of overpayment. Nissan has said its investigation had found no evidence against the executive, Hari Nada, who has since been demoted.Renault’s former CEO Thierry Bollore sought to flag alleged conflicts of interest and governance problems at Nissan before departing the French automaker, France’s Le Monde has reported, citing a letter he wrote to the board.
Nissan has denied there were any irregularities in its investigation of Ghosn’s affairs, and said the automaker had reviewed its processes again following Bollore’s letter.Ghosn’s legal team has previously argued it was being denied access to a trove of digital data collected by prosecutors from Nissan and its employees.
