Japanese car maker Nissan has filed a civil lawsuit against its former chairman Carlos Ghosn.
The suit, filed at Yokohama District Court, seeks an initial amount of $90m (£69.5m).
The company said it aims “to recover a significant part of the monetary damages inflicted on the company by its former chairman”.
Mr Ghosn is currently in Lebanon after jumping bail in Japan where he faces charges of financial misconduct.
He had been facing criminal charges for allegedly understating his annual salary and misusing company funds, until he fled Tokyo in December.
The scandal has thrown into doubt the future of Nissan’s alliance with Renault and Mitsubishi.
Nissan has also accused Mr Ghosn of misusing the company’s money for overseas events. The events included a party at the Palace of Versailles, in France and trips to Rio de Janeiro carnivals.
He denies charges of financial wrongdoing in Japan, claiming the country’s justice system is “rigged”.
