Ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn tweets about telling the truth as report says prosecutors readying new case by Kenny_Maxwell kellyJapan
TOKYO - Ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn promised to “tell the truth” at a news conference next week, taking to Twitter to announce his first briefing since being released on bail and hours after a report that prosecutors were preparing a fresh case against him.
He was arrested in Tokyo in November and faces charges of financial misconduct and aggravated breach of trust over allegedly failing to report around $82 million in salary and temporarily transferring personal financial losses onto Nissan’s books during the financial crisis. Prosecutors are in discussions with the Supreme Public Prosecutors Office and others and plan to make a decision soon on whether to prosecute Ghosn on further charges of aggravated breach of trust, the newspaper said, citing sources involved in the case.
