Nissan Motor board fires Ghosn as chairman following arrest

1 Oct 09:06 Key points summarised by AI

Nissan's board unanimously dismissed Carlos Ghosn as chairman and representative director after his arrest for alleged financial misconduct.
An internal investigation, prompted by a whistleblower, uncovered serious improprieties, including under-reporting of income and misuse of company assets.
This marks a dramatic downfall for Ghosn, a powerful executive credited with turning around Nissan and Renault, ending his nearly two-decade reign.
Another Nissan executive, Greg Kelly, was also arrested on suspicion of collaboration and will be dismissed, while Renault appointed an interim chief despite Ghosn retaining his CEO title there.
