Carlos Ghosn has said his arrest in Japan was the result of a “plot and treason” by Nissan executives opposed to his plans for the firm.<\/p>\n

In his first interview since last November’s shock arrest, Mr Ghosn told the Nikkei newspaper there was “a plan to integrate” the Renault-Nissan Mitsubishi alliance he once led. <\/p>\n

He claimed the plans had been discussed with Nissan boss Hiroto Saikawa.<\/p>\n

Mr Ghosn remains in detention, accused of financial misconduct.<\/p>\n

The executive was the architect of the Renault-Nissan alliance, and he brought Mitsubishi on board in 2016.<\/p>\n

In the interview, Mr Ghosn said he had wanted to include Mitsubishi Motor boss Osamu Masuko in the discussions about the future of the alliance, but Mr Saikawa “wanted it one-on-one”.<\/p>\n

Once the three carmakers were more closely integrated, Mr Ghosn wanted to ensure there would be “autonomy under one holding company,” the newspaper said. <\/p>\n

Mr Ghosn said he had “no doubt” that the charges against him were motivated by Nissan executives. <\/p>\n
