the sentence fell. Dutch justice sentenced Carlos Ghosn, accused of fraud, to reimburse nearly five million euros in remuneration to the Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance, Thursday, May 20, 2021. Faced with this hefty note, the former automotive executive plans to make call. He had taken legal action against the company, controlled by a local holding company, to challenge what he considers to be an illegal dismissal. In compensation, he claimed 15 million euros. Finally, the Amsterdam court ruled that no contract bound the company to the businessman, and that the latter was not entitled to the sums received. “The necessary permission from the board was lacking,” the court said in a statement.
The court clarified that the previous contract, which began in July 2012, had expired in April 2018 and that Ghosn now had to reimburse the salaries he had received between April and November 2018, or nearly five million euros. “The defense team will appeal this decision to the competent court,” reacted in a message to Agence France-Presse a spokesperson for the businessman, stressing that neither Carlos Ghosn nor of other key witnesses were unable to speak during the proceedings.
This flight to Japan that caused a lot of ink to flow
The Lebanese-Franco-Brazilian was arrested in November 2018 in Japan and found himself prosecuted on four counts: two for deferred income not declared to the stock market authorities by Nissan, and two others for aggravated breach of trust. Carlos Ghosn has always proclaimed his innocence and denounced a plot fomented by certain senior executives of the Japanese car manufacturer to bring him down.
After several months of detention in Japan, he was released on bail, then fled the country under conditions that caused a stir. He is suspected of having escaped controls at Kansai International Airport in Osaka (western Japan), by hiding in a bulky box for audio equipment, before taking off in a private jet. Carlos Ghosn remains out of reach of Japanese justice, Lebanon, of which he has nationality, having no extradition agreement with Japan.
