American accused in Ghosn case tells Tokyo court he acted in Nissan’s interests
An American lawyer on trial in Japan on charges related to reporting of former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn’s compensation has asserted his innocence, saying he acted legally and in Nissan’s best interests.
Greg Kelly, a former executive vice president at Nissan, told the Tokyo District Court he was worried Ghosn might job-hop after taking a big pay cut in 2010, when Japan began requiring disclosures of high executive pay.
