In November 2008, Ghosn, the former chairman of Nissan, was arrested by the Tokyo District Attorney's Special search Department on suspicion of underreporting about 9 billion yen in salary. After that, Ghosn was arrested for the second and third time on different charges, during which time Ghosn was extended several times. After three arrests, Ghosn was finally released on bail on March 6, when Ghosn had been detained for 108 days. Ghosn was arrested for the fourth time in Japan on April 4, local time.

Japanese prosecutors raided Ghosn's home in Tokyo and arrested Ghosn again for "serious breach of trust", Japanese broadcaster NHK reported. Reported that in Renault and Nissan in self-examination found that Ghosn had previously arranged to Renault-Nissan dealers in Oman to pay a number of payments, and the money may have gone to Ghosn's personal pockets, so Japanese prosecutors arrested Ghosn for the fourth time.

Through a spokesman, Ghosn told the CNN business channel that his re-arrest this morning was a brutal and arbitrary plot, in part because some Nissan people tried to keep themselves silent by misleading prosecutors. Ghosn also said he would not be defeated by the move and once again denied the charges and reaffirmed his innocence. Ghosn repeatedly insisted that he was innocent and expressed indignation at the unfair imprisonment.

Hours before his arrest, Ghosn posted a tweet for a press conference. Ghosn's Twitter only posted two tweets with the same content but different languages for the re-registered account. "I'm going to tell you what's going on," Ghosn said on Twitter. A press conference will be held on Thursday, April 11. "

Ghosn is the soul of the Renault Nissan alliance. Nissan was on the verge of bankruptcy for seven consecutive years from 1991 to 1999. After Renault provided financial assistance to Nissan in 1993, Ghosn led the team to implement the "Nissan recovery Plan." after that, Nissan's sales revenue rose rapidly, and Nissan's control was in Renault's hands.

Since its first arrest in Tokyo, Nissan was the first to dismiss Mr Ghosn, followed by Mitsubishi, who voluntarily resigned as chairman of Renault in January.
