Nissan Motor Co. dismissed Representative Director and Chairman Carlos Ghosn, who has been arrested on suspicion of violating the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law. The decision was made at an extraordinary board of directors meeting on Thursday

The move was aimed at extricating Nissan from the 19-year "Ghosn regime" and improving its corporate governance.
