Executive accused of underreporting his income by tens of millions of pounds
Prosecutors in Japan have charged the former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn with underreporting his income by tens of millions of pounds, as the fallout from the scandal threatened to engulf other senior executives.
Ghosn, whose arrest on 19 November rocked the Japanese car industry and cast doubts over the future of Nissan’s alliance with Renault, is facing another 20 days in detention after prosecutors added to the charges against him and another Nissan executive, Greg Kelly.
