Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn has confirmed to the automaker’s annual shareholders meeting he will forgo his EUR1.6m (US$2.4m) bonus in the light of the so-called spy affair.
The Renault chief told the 1,000 delegates at this year’s meeting in Paris’ Palais des Congres he would not take the incentive following the long-running saga that saw the complete exoneration of three sacked executives by the Paris Prosecutor.

“It [no bonus] is in the light of the affair and he is not taking his stock options either,” a Renault spokeswoman in Paris told just-auto.
Renault has also not yet decided on a successor to former chief operating officer Patrick Pelata whose resignation following the fall-out from the executives’ sackings was accepted.
“There is a timetable, but it is not very precise, before summer,” said the spokeswoman.
Media reports in France indicate Renault has reached agreement on a compensation package for the fired three, but the automaker was not immediately available for comment.
Previous French speculation has centred on a total figure of EUR11m as recompense.
