(10 Dec 2018) Nissan's former chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested in Japan on suspicion of underreporting his income, is being held at a Tokyo detention centre pending his indictment or release. Ghosn, who headed the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Motors auto alliance, was arrested on November 19 on suspicion he underreported his income by 44 million US dollars over five years, or about half of what he was really making. Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi have ousted him as chairman; the board of Renault SA of France says it's waiting for more evidence. Japanese media, without identifying sources, have reported that prosecutors will detain Ghosn on additional allegations beyond December 10, when the period of detention allowed on the first set of allegations against him runs out.
