TOKYO: The trial of former Nissan Motor Co boss Carlos Ghosn on charges of under-reporting his salary is expected to start in September, public broadcaster NHK said today.

Ghosn was released on US$9 million bail earlier in March after spending more than 100 days in a Tokyo detention centre. He faces charges of under-reporting his salary at Nissan by about US$82 million over nearly a decade.

Ghosn has said the charges are “meritless”. He was stripped of the role of Nissan chairman but remains a board member.
