Press Conference By Taro Aso, Japan's Deputy Prime Minister, Minister Of Finance, And Minister Of State For Financial Services: Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn

Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn was arrested yesterday. Please tell us your views on this.

I am not in a position to comment on an individual case.

This arrest was based on the charge that false statements had been made in securities reports; do you have any comments on this?

I know the case, but I cannot comment on this case at this time.

I think that most of the material misstatements have been conducted for window dressing. Is it your view that the misrepresentation of executive compensation also has a significant impact on investors’ decision-making?

You have been deliberately asking me the same question over and over. I cannot make a comment on a specific case.
