 Tokyo Court Upholds Suspended Sentence for Former Nissan Executive Greg Kelly


A Tokyo High Court on Tuesday upheld the six-month suspended sentence of Greg Kelly, a former Nissan executive and aide to Carlos Ghosn, rejecting appeals from both prosecutors and the defense.


Kelly, a 68-year-old American, was arrested in 2018 alongside Ghosn on charges of helping to conceal the ex-CEO’s income. However, Ghosn fled Japan in 2019, leaving Kelly to face trial alone.


The court previously acquitted Kelly for financial years 2010-2016 but found him guilty for 2017, handing him a three-year suspended sentence in 2022. Prosecutors had sought a two-year prison term, alleging he helped under-report Ghosn’s income by 9.1 billion yen ($60 million).


Kelly, now in the United States, learned of the verdict by phone. His lawyer, Yoichi Kitamura, confirmed plans to appeal to Japan’s Supreme Court, questioning the decision’s rationale. Prosecutors have yet to announce whether they will also appeal.


Meanwhile, Ghosn remains in Lebanon, evading an international arrest warrant issued by French investigators over allegations of abuse of company funds and money laundering.


In a separate development, Nissan and Honda have entered merger talks, which Ghosn described as evidence that Nissan is in "panic mode."
