		</div><p>Monday&#8217;s meeting comes amid an unfolding scandal that threatens the Japanese automaker&#8217;s two-decade alliance with Renault SA of France and its global brand, as well as highlighting shoddy governance at the manufacturer of the Leaf electric car.</p>
<p>Mr Ghosn and another board member Greg Kelly were formally charged last week with falsifying financial reports in underreporting Mr Ghosn&#8217;s income by about five billion yen (€39 million) between 2011 and 2015.</p>
<p>They were arrested on November 19 by Tokyo prosecutors and remain in detention.</p>
<p>A source close to Mr Ghosn&#8217;s family said he is innocent as the alleged income was never decided upon or paid.</p>
<p>Aubrey Harwell, the US lawyer for Mr Kelly, an American, says he is innocent, and that Nissan insiders and outside experts had advised him the financial reporting was proper.</p>
<p>The chairman must be selected from among the board members, but whether a decision will come Monday remains unclear.</p>

President and Chief Executive Officer Hiroto Saikawa</figcaption></figure>
<p>Three outside board members, driver Keiko Ihara, Masakazu Toyoda, an academic, and Jean-Baptiste Duzan, formerly of Renault, are making that decision.</p>
<p>One candidate for chairman is Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa, who was hand-picked by Mr Ghosn to succeed him as chief executive.</p>
<p>He has denounced Mr Ghosn and Mr Kelly as the &#8220;masterminds&#8221; in a scheme to falsify income reports and abuse company money and assets.</p>
<p>Renault has kept Mr Ghosn as chief executive and chairman, saying its investigation has not found wrongdoing in the awarding of his compensation.</p>
