Ghosn Got Six Houses From Nissan, Including in Tokyo and New York

Details are slowly beginning to trickle out about the alleged misdeeds of the embattled Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was arrested this week after the carmaker said he misused company funds for personal use.

Nissan Motor Co. provided Ghosn with six houses, including residences in Tokyo and New York, a company official said, asking not to be identified discussing private information. Media reports had earlier said Ghosn got company-funded properties in cities such as Beirut, Rio de Janeiro, Paris and Amsterdam. Ghosn’s sister also had an advisory contract with Nissan, though the role had no substance, the official said. Media reports said she was paid about $100,000 a year.
