French media said that the Judges in charge of the investigation were involved in the allegations that Nissan Motor's former chairman Carlos Ghosn was profiting from the funds of Renault, an automobile manufacturer that was the top management. He reported that he had arrived in Japan to hear about the situation.
Former Chairman Carlos Ghosn has been accused of being involved in an opaque payment to a distributor in Oman, the Middle East, in an internal investigation by Groupe Renault, who was the top executive, and French law enforcement officials are serious. We are proceeding with a "preliminary hearing procedure" to examine whether to hold a trial in a case.
French media reports that former chairman Ghosn has denied, but reports that the amount received by the former chairman and others due to opaque payments is 15 million euros, amounting to more than 2.1 billion yen in Japanese yen.
In connection with this allegation, French media reported that the trial judges in charge of the investigation had arrived in Japan on the 2nd to interview the people concerned.
The trial judges are expected to stay in Japan until the 8th of this month to find out if the people involved knew about the exchange of money.
French judicial authorities have issued arrest warrants to former chairman Ghosn and owners of sales agents in Oman, making international arrangements through ICPO = International Criminal Police Organization, and former chairman Ghosn's escape destination in Lebanon, Middle East. We are conducting an investigation by interviewing the person himself.
