Ghosn's family suspects Nissan revolt behind his arrest, misconduct charges

Caroline Ghosn suspected that Nissan's investigation was rooted in opposition to proposed changes to the Nissan-Renault alliance and "the merger my dad was setting up

The children of Carlos Ghosn, the jailed auto executive who oversaw an alliance that sold more than 10 million cars a year, believe accusations of financial misconduct against him are part of a revolt within Nissan against exploring a possible merger with Renault.
 
Caroline Ghosn, the eldest of Ghosn’s four children, said that when she saw Hiroto Saikawa, the chief executive of Nissan, condemn her father during a televised news conference after his arrest, she suspected that Nissan’s investigation was rooted in opposition to proposed changes to the Nissan-Renault alliance and “the merger my dad was setting up”.
