Carlos Ghosn sues Nissan for $1bn over his removal – The National

Carlos Ghosn, the former head of Nissan Motor, has filed a lawsuit against the Japanese car maker and connected individuals for removing him in 2018 and arranging his arrest on charges of alleged financial misconduct.

Mr Ghosn is claiming more than $1 billion for “deep damage” to his finances and reputation.

The former car executive, who negotiated Nissan’s alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi Motors, filed his claims with the public prosecutor in the Court of Cassation in Lebanon, where he has lived since leaving Japan in late 2019 to avoid trial.
