Carlos Ghosn says the lawsuit is an extension to the extremely unreasonable internal investigation with sinister intent by a portion of Nissan’s senior management and unreasonable arrests and indictments by prosecutors. A civil court trial began Friday in Japan over Nissan’s demand for 10 billion yen, or US$95 million, in damages from its former chairman, Carlos Ghosn. The automaker has sued Ghosn over what it says is harm suffered from various types of alleged financial misconduct. For the civil trial, Ghosn has hired acclaimed lawyer Nobuo Gohara, who has written a book of interviews with Ghosn. Tokyo prosecutors say they’re confident they have a case against Ghosn, as well as against Kelly.
