French justice has issued an international arrest warrant against Carlos Ghosn, former boss of the Renault Nissan alliance (RNBV), as part of an investigation conducted in Nanterre, in the Hauts-de-Seine, in particular for abuse of corporate assets and money laundering, said the Nanterre prosecutor's office on Friday, April 22, contacted by AFP.

The Franco-Lebanese-Brazilian, who was to be tried in Tokyo for financial embezzlement, has lived in Beirut since his incredible flight from Japan at the end of 2019. In Nanterre, investigators are interested in nearly 15 million euros in payments considered suspicious between RNBV and the distributor of the French car manufacturer in Oman, Suhail Bahwan Automobiles (SBA).
