Three weeks after his arrest at a Tokyo airport, Carlos Ghosn is set to be indicted for financial crimes as soon as Monday, according to people familiar with the matter, bringing to a head the case that has sent shock waves through the global auto industry.
Prosecutors are also planning to re-arrest Ghosn on new charges not yet made public, said the people, asking not to be identified because the information is private.
In the first sign of blowback from the scandal for Nissan, the carmaker is also set to be indicted for breaching Japan's Financial Instruments and Exchange Law by making misstatements on securities reports, the Nikkei newspaper reported. It is also thought that former Representative Director Greg Kelly, who is accused of aiding Ghosn to understate his income and misuse Nissan assets, will be indicted, the report said.
