    Fellow, Head of Research Center for Strategic Management & Innovation

    Sadakazu Osaki

With the media reporting conflicting accounts and the facts of the case yet to be spelled out in detail, it is too early to safely draw any conclusions about the allegations against Ghosn and his codefendants.
