Nissan could be headed for another blow.

After chairman Carlos Ghosn was arrested Monday (November 19), Japanese prosecutors are now reportedly weighing a case against Nissan itself.

That's according to Japanese daily Asahi Shimbun on Wednesday (November 21).

Carlos Ghosn is one of the global car industry's best-known leaders - but internal investigations carried out by Nissan found he had allegedly engaged in years of wrongdoing.

That includes personal use of company money, and under-reporting earnings.

Prosecutors say Ghosn and Representative Director Greg Kelly conspired to understate Ghosn's compensation over a five year period.

Stating it was about half of the actual 88 million dollars.

The Asahi paper quoted unnamed sources as saying the misstating of that amount means Nissan also carries responsibility, and prosecutors are now eyeing a case against the Japanese firm.

The prosecutors weren't immediately available for comment, and Nissan declined to comment on the report.

Japan's top government spokesman called for stability among Nissan's alliance with Mitsubishi and France's Renault on Wednesday.

By early Wednesday, Ghosn still remained chairman of all three, and CEO of the French unit.

Renault has already named its interim stand-ins.

And Nissan has said it plans to remove him on Thursday (November 22).

Ghosn has not yet spoken out on the allegations against him.
