Greg Kelly goes on trial next week in Tokyo in connection with the lengthy saga involving former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn AFP/Behrouz MEHRITOKYO: The lengthy saga of ex-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn takes a new turn next week when the auto titan-turned-fugitive's former assistant Greg Kelly goes on trial in Tokyo.
The American lawyer appears in court from Tuesday facing a single charge: of conspiring to under-report tens of millions of dollars in pay that Ghosn was allegedly promised after his retirement.Kelly, who will turn 64 on the day the trial opens, denies any wrongdoing. He faces up to 10 years in jail if convicted.
Prosecutors have amassed a vast amount of documents, only a small portion of which the defence have been given so far, according to Kelly's lawyers. The defence say some witnesses who could help acquit Kelly fear being detained if they testify in person in Japan.
