Former Nissan Motor Co. executive Greg Kelly and the Japanese automaker were found guilty on Thursday over underreporting remuneration of ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn.

The Tokyo District Court sentenced the 65-year-old former Nissan representative director to six months in prison, suspended for three years, in the high-profile trial. Prosecutors had demanded a two-year sentence.
