Japanese automaker Nissan has dismissed Carlos Ghosn from his chairman role, following his arrest by prosecutors in Japan for engaging in financial misconduct.
On Nov. 19, Japan’s NHK public television reported that Ghosn was arrested in Tokyo on suspicions that he violated Japanese financial laws. Immediately preceding his arrest, Nissan issued a statement announcing that it had been conducting an internal investigation “over the past several months” regarding misconduct involving Ghosn and representative director Greg Kelly.
