Bruno Le Maire welcomes Carlos Ghosn’s release from Japanese jail

French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire welcomed on Wednesday the release of former Renault head Carlos Ghosn from jail in Japan.

“Carlos Ghosn is being released. He is a French citizen. He will be able to defend himself with greater ease. So much, the better,” Le Maire informed Europe 1 radio.

“But my responsibility as finance and economy minister is to make sure that hundreds of thousands of jobs at Renault and at the Renault-Nissan alliance are protected,” he included.
