His latest arrest is yet another dramatic twist in the once-feted executive’s fall from grace.
Japanese prosecutors arrested ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn again on Thursday on suspicion of trying to enrich himself at the automaker’s expense, in a stunning twist that media reports linked to payments to an Omani dealer.
“It is part of another attempt by some individuals at Nissan to silence me by misleading the prosecutors. Why arrest me except to try to break me? I will not be broken. I am innocent of the groundless charges and accusations against me.” “After being wrongly imprisoned for 108 days, my biggest hope and wish today is for a fair trial,” Ghosn added in the emailed statement.
Under Japanese law, prosecutors will be able to hold him for up to 22 days without charge. The fresh arrest opens up the possibility that he will be interrogated again without his lawyer present, as is the norm in Japan. “Multiple arrests suggest that the prosecutor may be concerned about their chances of winning a guilty verdict.”Nissan late last year expanded its internal investigation into possible financial misconduct related to its business in the Middle East, India and elsewhere.
