In December 2020 it was reported that French investigators would meet with Ghosn in January 2021 as part of a separate investigation of expenses covered by a Dutch subsidiary of Renault and Nissan. Ghosn is under two investigations in France, one that is focused on suspicious transactions between Renault and a distributor in Oman, as well as another investigation into alleged illegal payments for private trips and events paid by Renault-Nissan’s Netherlands-based holding company RNBV. In a January 2021 interview Ghosn questioned why France are questioning him over the charges, while the Japanese did not, and denied the charges.
