TOKYO, June 24 (Reuters) - Nissan (7201.T) has launched an investigation into claims by a senior adviser that Chief Executive Makoto Uchida carried out surveillance of his deputy Ashwani Gupta, four people with direct knowledge of the matter said.
In the letter, Nada said Uchida carried out surveillance over a long period.
Asked to comment on the surveillance investigation, Nissan said in response to Reuters: "Independent third parties have been retained to verify facts and carry out appropriate actions."
Nada did not detail in the letter how he knew of the alleged surveillance of Gupta.
Nada is a member of two executive committees established by Nissan in 2019 as part of a governance reform after the Ghosn scandal.
