Fugitive Ex-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn Sues Company for $1 Billion Over Ouster

Carlos Ghosn has filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Nissan and a dozen individuals in Beirut over his imprisonment in Japan and defamation against him.
The lawsuit accuses Nissan and the individuals of fabricating charges against him, which led to his arrest in Japan.
Ghosn was arrested in Japan in November 2018 on charges of breach of trust, misusing company assets, and violating securities laws.
A hearing date in the case was set for September, and Nissan and the accused individuals are expected to send representatives to Beirut or name a Lebanese lawyer to represent them.
Ghosn now lives in Lebanon, which has no extradition treaty with Japan and does not extradite its citizens.
