Tokyo (AP) — The Japanese prosecutor's office filed an appeal against the ruling of former Nissan executive Greg Kelly on Wednesday. Greg Kelly has recently been acquitted of most of the charges he faced for allegedly having problems with the salary declaration of former boss Carlos Ghosn.
Earlier this month, the Tokyo District Court sentenced him to six months in prison for three years. The court ruled that the American Kelly was guilty of hiding the remuneration of the former president of the automobile company for only one of the eight years cited in the prosecution.
The defense has already appealed and is calling for Kelly's complete innocence.
The prosecutor's office said he had investigated whether or not he had grounds to appeal during the years of his acquittal. He was asking for two years in prison.
The case will now go to the Tokyo High Court to review the prosecution of 8 years before the appeal of both parties.
In Japan, a person who has been sentenced to probation is not obliged to stay in Japan. Earlier this week, Kelly was received by Senator Bill Hagerty in Tennessee, who supported her case from the beginning.
Kelly worked for Nissan for 30 years and was almost retired from the United States when she was summoned to attend a conference held in Japan in November 2018. He was arrested at the same time as Ghosn, the former president of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance.
Kelly's trial began in September 2020. Ghosn did not participate in the trial because he violated parole in 2019 and fled to Lebanon, where there was no Japanese and Indian treaty.
Nissan Motor Company, based in Yokohama, which manufactures subcompact, leaf electric cars and Infiniti Luxury models in March, pleaded guilty in the same trial and could not be part of the appeal because it was fined.
