Japanese prosecutors have questioned the wife of former Nissan Motor chairman Carlos Ghosn at a Tokyo court. They are believed to have asked her about an alleged flow of funds from Nissan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Carole Ghosn was summoned to the Tokyo District Court on Thursday as a witness at the request of prosecutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ghosn was accompanied by her husband’s defense lawyers. She had returned to Japan the previous night from France, where she’d stayed since last weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The inquiry follows a fourth arrest of her husband last week for alleged aggravated breach of trust. He’s suspected of funneling Nissan funds sent to an Omani dealership to a shell company he effectively owns.
Sources say some of the funds allegedly went to a shell company headed by Carole Ghosn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of the lawyers said prosecutors questioned her for about three hours through an English interpreter. A judge and defense lawyers attended the closed session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The lawyer said Ghosn answered the questions sincerely, without rejecting them. She’s believed to have denied any involvement in alleged wrongdoing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prosecutors had asked her to meet them for voluntary questioning. After she refused, they asked the court to summon her for questioning with a judge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
