Carlos Ghosn On His $1.1 Billion Lawsuit And The “Strange Conflict” At Nissan

“If they drop the charges, it doesn’t mean that we’re even. They have to compensate me for the damage they’ve done.”

Carlos Ghosn built his reputation as the leader who rescued Renault from near bankruptcy and then did the same at Nissan after orchestrating a powerful alliance that ultimately included Mitsubishi Motors. That alliance was poised to potentially expand to include Fiat Chrysler when Ghosn was suddenly arrested after landing in Tokyo on November 19, 2018 on charges of allegedly underreporting his compensation to the Japanese government.
