The Associated Press reported that French investigators will arrive in Lebanon next month to question the former executive director of the Renault-Nissan automaker alliance, Carlos Ghosn.
Yesterday Saturday, the agency quoted an official from the Lebanese Ministry of Justice, who requested anonymity, as saying that “the French investigators will work in coordination with their Lebanese colleagues”, without revealing the date of the next visit and the content of the information that French researchers seek to obtain.
The name of Ghosn, who has the nationalities of Lebanon, France and Brazil, made international news at the end of last December, when he fled Japan, where he was awaiting trial on charges of financial irregularities, and arrived in Lebanon via Turkey.
In addition to these allegations, at least two investigations related to Ghosn have been launched in France, one of which focuses on suspicious financial transactions between Renault and the SBA, which distributes its cars in the Sultanate of Oman and the Gulf in general, and allegations of paying the Netherlands-based Renault-Nissan company RNBV. Millions of euros in exchange for organizing trips and private parties for the former director general of the coalition.
The second investigation focuses on allegations of misappropriation of “Renault” money at Ghosn’s party at the Palace of Versailles.
The French investigation aims to determine who was responsible for the alleged irregularities committed between 2009 and 2020.
