NISSAN EXEC MUNOZ RESIGNS AMID GHOSN PROBE FALLOUT

-

Nissan Motor Co Ltd’s chief performanc­e officer Jose Munoz has resigned, a company spokesman said on Friday in an emailed statement to Reuters. Munoz’s resignatio­n follows a Reuters report that said that the Japanese automaker was looking into decisions made in the United States by Munoz as it broadened its investigat­ion into the alleged financial misconduct by ousted chairman Carlos Ghosn. Munoz, who is widely seen within the industry as close to Ghosn, was a “person of interest” in the probe and it was not clear whether he would be accused of any wrongdoing, one of the three people with knowledge of the inquiry said.
