Tokyo: Ousted Nissan Motors Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn reiterated his innocence and called himself the victim of "a conspiracy", in a video released by his lawyers on Tuesday that was recorded before his arrest last week.

"I am innocent," Ghosn said, adding that he still loved both Nissan and Japan. The 65-year-old former auto titan also expressed concern for the future of the company,
citing sluggish earnings, as well as the Nissan-Mitsubishi-Renault alliance.
