Carlos Ghosn feared Renault would sack him if the true scale of his Nissan salary were disclosed, according to court testimony by the whistleblower who triggered the downfall of the former automotive supremo.  Hari Nada, the former head of legal affairs, appeared in public on Thursday for the first time since Mr Ghosn’s arrest in 2018. He said the fear of Renault’s reaction drove Mr Ghosn to order Nissan staff to concoct a scheme that would conceal the full extent of a remuneration package that was the highest for a chief executive of any Japanese company.
