Nissan Motor announced Monday that it has filed a criminal complaint against former President Carlos Ghosn for aggravated breach of trust under the Japanese Companies Act.

The Japanese automaker said that it had filed the lawsuit after payments by Nissan to a foreign vehicle sales company via a subsidiary had been directed by Ghosn for his personal enrichment.

"Such misconduct is totally unacceptable and Nissan is demanding stiff penalties," Nissan said in a statement posted on its website.

Ghosn should be charged on Monday by Tokyo prosecutors for aggravated breach of trust. This would be the fourth charge against him since his arrest in November on suspicion of financial misconduct. He denied all the allegations against him.
