Nissan probe expanding to Renault

Nissan’s investigation into alleged misconduct by chairman, Carlos Ghosn, is expanding to include Renault-Nissan finances, sources told Reuters, in a further sign that Nissan may seek to loosen its French parent’s hold on their global carmaking alliance.

Earlier this week, Nissan told Renault’s board it had evidence of potential wrongdoing at Renault-Nissan, the venture overseeing alliance operations under Renault’s ultimate control, according to sources.
