Former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn has filed a lawsuit against the Japanese car company, seeking $1 billion in damages. Ghosn, who was charged with violating stock market regulations and then fled to Lebanon, claims his reputation and finances have been damaged by the scandal surrounding him. The lawsuit was filed in a Beirut court several weeks ago. Ghosn denies the allegations against him in Japan and claims to be the victim of a conspiracy to prevent closer ties between Nissan and Renault. So far, the lawsuit has had no real impact on the company's $7201 (-1,58%) Share.
