Carole Ghosn in the sight of Japanese justice. Authorities on Tuesday issued an arrest warrant for the wife of Carlos Ghosn on suspicion of "giving false testimony," according to Japanese news agencies Kyodo News and Jiji.
The announcement of this arrest warrant comes after a request for the arrest of Carlos Ghosn was issued in early January by Interpol, a few days after the flight to Lebanon of the former big boss of Renault and Nissan, who was in bail in Japan pending trial for alleged financial embezzlement.
An "extremely regrettable" departure
Earlier on Tuesday, Nissan estimated that Carlos Ghosn had "flouted Japanese justice" by taking refuge in Lebanon. The manufacturer considers his departure from Japan "extremely regrettable". "Nissan has discovered numerous acts of misconduct attributable to Ghosn after a thorough internal investigation," said the group, which had denounced it to the authorities and dismissed it shortly after its arrest on November 19, 2018 for alleged financial embezzlement.
