Ex-Nissan Boss Carlos Ghosn Sues Automaker, Seeks More Than $1 Billion

Former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn is suing his past employer. He filed a lawsuit in Lebanon seeking more than $1 billion, accusing Nissan, two other companies, and 12 individuals of defamation, fabricating evidence, and more. Ghosn is seeking $558 million in lost compensation and costs and $500 million in punitive damages.

Japanese authorities arrested Ghosn in late 2018, accusing him of underreporting his compensation and charging him with financial misconduct. He has denied the charges. Ghosn escaped house arrest in late 2019, fleeing the country in a box.
