According to insider sources, Ghosn was accused of earning 88 million US Dollars during his eight years at Nissan, but only reported half of the income, which is equivalent to evading half the taxes.
Furthermore, Ghosn was accused of using Nissan's overseas residences without paying rent, privately using the company's airplanes, and so forth.
These accusations sound a bit absurd to anyone.
An old foreign man comes to your country and helps you save a company valued at seven or eight billion US Dollars.
And he only received 80 million US Dollars as compensation, then used some benefits that the company should reasonably offer him for free.
And then just gets arrested?
Oh, and the reason for his arrest wasn't because he received 80 million US Dollars as compensation, but because he underreported 40 million US Dollars in taxes.
Even if he really underreported, it's not a reason to arrest someone.
