AMSTERDAM: A Dutch court has ordered fugitive former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn to repay nearly 5 million euros in salary to an Amsterdam-based alliance between Nissan and Mitsubishi, and rejected his claim for millions in compensation for wrongful dismissal.
The ruling Thursday came in a case in which Ghosn sought to have his 2018 sacking from the Nissan-Mitsubishi BV overturned and demanded 15 million euros (US$16.5 million) in compensation.
The court in Amsterdam rejected his claims, saying he did not have a contract with the company at the time.
