NANTERRE: French prosecutors have begun an inquiry into the lavish wedding party at the Palace of Versailles for former Renault and Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn, part of which was billed to Renault, a legal source told AFP on Monday .
Renault began sifting through Ghosn's years at the helm after his shock arrest in Tokyo last November on charges of under-reporting millions of dollars in salary as head of Nissan, Renault's alliance partner. Ghosn and his second wife Carole threw a Marie Antoinette-themed dinner and party at the former royal residence at Versailles, complete with entertainers in period costumes, on Oct 8, 2016.In a statement, the Chateau de Versailles said Renault had signed a €2.3-million sponsorship deal with the palace in June 2016.
Ghosn's lawyer in France, Jean-Yves Le Borgne, told AFP that the executive"stands ready" to repay the money, saying his client was"not aware he owed it because he had not been billed.Ghosn was released from a Tokyo detention centre last week after more than 100 days in custody, following an unusual court decision allowing him to post bail of one billion yen .
