Nissan has covered millions of losses | Internationale

Japan- The sacked Nissan president, Carlos Ghosn, involved in a tax evasion case, reportedly transferred about 1.7 billion yen ($ 15 million) in personal investment losses to the automaker in 2008, sources said. close to the file.

The sources, quoted by the Japanese news agency Kyodo News, indicate that Mr Ghosn suffered a private loss of about $ 15 million during the financial crisis 10 years ago, after investing in financial derivatives.

The Securities and Exchange Supervision Commission was aware of the transaction at the time of the transaction and informed the relevant banks that this transaction could be illegal.

This revelation joins a series of acts of financial and fiscal misconduct that Ghosn allegedly committed in recent years and which led to his arrest on November 19.

The businessman, detained in a Tokyo jail waiting to be informed in detail of the indictment, was removed from his position as president of Nissan last Thursday, and this Monday also the same functions within the Japanese firm Mitsubishi.

Ghosn, as director of Nissan's representative, Greg Kelly, was arrested for allegedly declaring less revenue in the company's financial reports, in violation of the Financial Instruments and Trade Act.

According to some sources, Mr. Ghosn exchanged documents with Nissan in which his annual salary was set at about 18 million dollars.

However, he apparently had asked Kelly to report about half that amount in the financial reports and to receive the difference between the amount reported and the promised compensation after his retirement.

Ghosn admitted these accusations, but reportedly told investigators that he had asked Kelly, who is a lawyer, to act legally.

The Tokyo prosecutor's office reportedly ruled that post-retirement payments should be recorded in the financial reports.

Nissan badumed responsibility for the losses incurred during the 2008 global financial crisis, after Ghosn failed to secure sufficient guarantees, sources said.

Ghosn was arrested last week for alleged violation of financial instruments and Japanese foreign exchange law by failing to declare his salary of about five billion yen for five years, until March 2015. He received nearly 10 billion yen during this period.

The Franco-Brazilian executive was the main architect of the alliance that joined Nissan and Renault for nearly two decades and later joined by Mitsubishi. Until his arrest, he combined the duties of Tripartite Group Leader with positions at senior management from each of the three automakers.

The so-called titan of the Japanese auto industry, after getting rid of Nissan from bankruptcy, is also suspected of having used one of the company's business jets. for private travel, the sources said.

It is believed that the man, aged 64, traveled aboard one of Nissan's rented planes for non-commercial purposes.

The commercial plane, dedicated to Ghosn, has flown to countries where the builder has no major base.

Among the destinations are Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, where Ghosn reportedly used a free residence that the Nissan group would have spent for several hundred million yen, according to sources.

According to a private website showing flight routes of planes around the world by capturing their flight signals, Nissan's jet plane has been flying to Lebanon several times since last month.

When Ghosn was arrested on his arrival at Haneda Airport in Tokyo on November 19, the plane arrived from Lebanon.
