Paris Court Upholds Arrest Warrant for Carlos Ghosn in Corruption Case

The court's decision intensifies legal pressure on the ex-Renault-Nissan CEO, while a trial decision for Ghosn and Rachida Dati remains pending.

The Paris Court of Appeal rejected Carlos Ghosn's attempt to nullify the international arrest warrant issued against him for corruption and influence peddling.
Ghosn, residing in Lebanon since his 2019 escape from Japan, argued he could not travel to France due to a judicial ban on leaving Lebanon.
The French National Financial Prosecutor’s Office has requested a trial for Ghosn and former Minister Rachida Dati, who is accused of receiving €900,000 for unperformed consultancy work.
Ghosn also faces a separate 2022 arrest warrant in Nanterre for alleged misuse of corporate assets and money laundering involving an Omani distributor.
The court's ruling reinforces ongoing judicial scrutiny of Ghosn as investigative judges deliberate on whether to proceed with a trial.
