PARIS -- Renault's board decided on Thursday not to remove Carlos Ghosn as chairman or CEO at this time, citing a lack of evidence of misconduct at the French automaker.

The company said after the meeting that it launched an internal review on Nov. 23 of his compensation for the period from 2015 to 2018. Ghosn was arrested in Japan that month on suspicion of underreporting compensation as chairman of Renault partner Nissan Motor.
