September 23, 2019
US securities regulators on Monday charged Japanese automaker Nissan and its former CEO Carlos Ghosn with hiding more than $140 million in Ghosn’s expected retirement income from investors.
Ghosn will pay $1 million in fines to settle the matter without admitting wrongdoing, and will be barred from serving as a corporate executive for 10 years, the Securities and Exchange Commission said in a statement.
Nissan will pay a $15 million fine. The SEC also charged former board member Greg Kelly aiding in the fraud.
