TOKYO, Nov. 22(SEE)- Bloomberg said on Thursday that there is a pision among Nissan board members over the removal of the company's chief executive Carlos Ghosn due to illegal fraud practices.
Board members are believed to have given few details concerning allegations of the CEO's financial scandals.
The nine-member board of the Japanese car manufacturer is due to vote on Thursday to dismiss the chief executive following his arrest last Monday.
Nissan has revealed that CEO and his deputy, Greg Cali, have disclosed fraudulent compensation in the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
"It is likely to be difficult to take a unanimous decision to exclude him from office until all allegations of illegal practices are disclosed," a source said.
Renault has appointed a temporary deputy chief executive following the arrest.
Ghosn is of Lebanese-Nigerian origin and holds Brazilian and French citizenships.
He is the chairman and CEO of Renault, Nissan, and Mitsubishi Motors since their alliance in 2007.
