Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn (Meika Fujio/AP)He was awaiting trial but skipped bail and showed up in Lebanon late last year. Japanese authorities recently issued an arrest warrant for Ghosn and three Americans, accused of helping his escape. Separately, they issued an arrest warrant for Ghosn’s wife on suspicion of perjury. Wednesday’s lawsuit by Nissan comes on top of the civil case Nissan filed against Ghosn in the British Virgin Islands in August last year. Ghosn, sent in by Renault to lead Nissan, has said his arrest was set off by a conspiracy against him at Nissan.
