He was 証言するing as a 証言，証人／目撃する for Nissan モーター Co., which as a 法人組織の／企業の （独立の）存在 is standing 裁判，公判 on 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金s of having falsified 安全s 報告（する）／憶測s in under-報告（する）／憶測ing Ghosn´s 補償（金）.

Uchida said an atmosphere of 恐れる 勝つ／広く一帯に広がるd at the company, with staff believing that challenging Ghosn carried serious 危険s.
"We were only trying to play melodies that sounded good to our boss," he said. "I've been working to try to change that since becoming CEO."
Ghosn was sent to Nissan by its French 同盟 partner Renault about two １０年間s ago, helping to 生き返らせる a company on the brink of 破産. From about 2014, he became いっそう少なく collaborative and the company began to chase sales 容積／容量, setting 極端に ambitious goals, Uchida said.
While some at Nissan may have felt Ghosn stayed at the 舵輪／支配 for too long, in his 証言 Kelly has 主張するd 問題／発行するs over 報告（する）／憶測ing of his 補償（金） arose because the company was trying to find 合法的な ways to 改善する his 支払う／賃金 to 妨げる him from leaving for a 競争相手 自動車製造業者. Ghosn took a 抱擁する 支払う／賃金 削減（する） when the 公表，暴露 of big (n)役員／(a)執行力のある salaries became 要求するd in Japan in 2010.
Uchida became 長，指導者 (n)役員／(a)執行力のある and 大統領，／社長 in 2019. He worked at major Japanese 貿易（する）ing company Nissh o Iwai Corp. before joining Nissan in 2003, when Nissho Iwai 合併するd with another 貿易（する）ing company, Nichimen, later becoming Sojitz Corp.
Uchida's 前任者, Hiroto Saikawa, 辞職するd after he became embroiled in a スキャンダル of his own, also 関係のある to under-報告（する）／憶測d 補償（金）. Saikawa has not been 告発（する），告訴（する）／料金d.
Nissan has 約束d to 強化する its 法人組織の／企業の governance and audits to 妨げる a 再発 of any 財政上の 悪事を働くこと.
Ghosn has （刑事）被告 other 最高の，を越す Nissan (n)役員／(a)執行力のあるs of plotting to 軍隊 him out of the company 予定 to 恐れるs he might 押し進める for Renault, which owns 43% of Nissan, to 伸び（る） more 支配（する）／統制する over the Japanese 自動車製造業者.
Nissan (n)役員／(a)執行力のあるs have 証言するd at the 裁判，公判 that this was a 関心.
The 同盟 of Renault, Nissan and smaller 自動車製造業者 Mitsubishi モーター Corp. 株 科学（工学）技術, 自動車 parts and 生産／産物 工場／植物s. That makes Nissan and Renault nearly inseparable, によれば 産業 専門家s.
It´s 不明瞭な when the パネル盤 of three 裁判官s will 手渡す 負かす／撃墜する their 判決 in the 裁判，公判. It could take months. The 最大限 刑罰，罰則 Kelly could 直面する is 15 years in 刑務所，拘置所.
