The general meeting of shareholders of Mitsubishi Motors on Friday voted the end of the term of office of Carlos Ghosn, officially acting an impeachment that already existed in fact.
Carlos Ghosn officially "thanked" by Mitsubishi Motors
A few days after the arrest of the world's biggest car boss in Tokyo in November, Mitsubishi Motors' board of directors had removed his position as chairman, but he was still director-in-chief until the AG is pronounced, which she did Friday morning.
At the same time, the appointment of a new boss to replace Osamu Masuko, in the person of Takao Kato, who was previously head of the Mitsubishi Motors subsidiary in Indonesia, was approved.
Judicial setbacks for more than six months
Carlos Ghosn, also removed from all executive positions and director at Renault and Nissan, no longer has any title. The ex-tycoon, who is facing four indictments for alleged financial malpractices, has spent a total of 130 days in detention in Tokyo.
He was released on bail at the end of April and is now under house arrest in the Japanese capital, where he is subject to strict judicial control, which forbids him from seeing or contacting his wife, the prosecution fearing destruction of evidence. . Carlos Ghosn, who is disputing the charges against him, is preparing for his trial, which will not take place before the spring of 2020, according to his lawyers.
