The French government has told Renault to provide more details on compensation paid to senior executives via a Dutch holding company jointly owned with alliance partner Nissan, Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said on Sunday.
Le Maire made the demand after France's CGT trade Union voiced concerns over payments made to certain high-ranking executives via the alliance's Renault-Nissan BV (RNBV) Dutch venture and called for more transparency at the carmaker.
Corporate governance inside the alliance has come under tight scrutiny after Japanese authorities arrested its chairman, Carlos Ghosn, in mid-November on suspicion of under-reporting his income at Nissan.
