Carlos Ghosn remains Renault CEO after arrest, with new deputy

French automaker Renault has said that it has appointed its chief operating officer as deputy CEO to ensure day-to-day management after the arrest of chief Carlos Ghosn, who will remain chief executive.

After an emergency board meeting, the company said Thierry Bollore would become deputy CEO with Ghosn "temporarily incapacitated" following his arrest Monday in Japan on financial misconduct charges.
