A Tokyo court today upheld a suspended six-month sentence for former Nissan executive, Greg Kelly, a one-time aide of the firm’s fugitive ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn.

Both prosecutors and Kelly, a 68-year-old American charged with helping Ghosn attempt to conceal income, had questioned the 2022 verdict, but the Tokyo High Court dismissed their appeals.

Kelly was arrested in 2018 in Japan at the same time as Ghosn, whose detention sent shockwaves around the business world.

Ghosn, a French, Lebanese and Brazilian national, fled the country concealed in a music equipment box the following year while on bail — leaving Kelly alone to face charges.
