According to

Les Echos

, the file is in the hands of the national direction of the verifications of fiscal situations (DNVSF), in charge of delicate tax audits.

At the heart of the procedure: the move of Carlos Ghosn from France to the Netherlands in 2012. The tax services are seeking, according to the entourage of the former president of Renault-Nissan, to requalify him "fiscally".

But according to his relatives, this move was not for fiscal reasons only, and could be explained by the Renault-Nissan alliance, whose head office of the joint structure (RNBV) was in Amsterdam.
