TOKYO -- The newest charge against former Nissan Motor Chairman Carlos Ghosn in effect marks the end of Japanese prosecutors' investigation and looks to be the crux of the country's highest-profile corporate trial in years.
Prosecutors charged Ghosn with a second count of aggravated breach of trust Monday, alleging that $5 million in payments from Nissan to a distributor in Oman was funneled to a Lebanese investment company under the de facto management of the former auto alliance chief.
