“All corporate governance procedures are fully functional, allowing Groupe Renault to pursue the normal course of its industrial and commercial operations.
“Groupe Renault, which acknowledges the first statement from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor Office in connection with the judicial proceedings regarding Mr Carlos Ghosn, is fully engaged and monitors carefully the development of the situation.”
