A Lebanese company is at the center of alleged payments linking Nissan Motor Co. and its partner Renault SA to a firm related to jailed former auto titan Carlos Ghosn and his son, according to people familiar with the matter.

The automakers suspect that Good Faith Investments, a Beirut-based company known as GFI, facilitated money transfers to a firm connected to Carlos and Anthony Ghosn, said the people, who asked not to be named because these details aren’t public. Japanese prosecutors indicted Carlos Ghosn Monday on charges of misdirecting Nissan funds for personal use, after arresting and detaining him again earlier in the month.
