Carlos Ghosn, the former chairman of Japanese automaker Nissan, late last week secretly fled Japan, where he was awaiting trial over allegations of financial misconduct.
A high-ranking Nissan executive reportedly quashed a recommendation to establish a special committee to determine whether any additional disciplinary actions were necessary surrounding allegations of financial misconduct.
