Greg Kelly, a former Nissan executive, speaks during a press conference after his arrival at Nashville International Airport in Nashville, Tenn., Monday, March 14, 2022. Kelly returned to Nashville after a Tokyo court gave Kelly, who was charged with underreporting his boss Carlos Ghosn's pay, a suspended sentence.

Days after a Tokyo court gave Greg Kelly a suspended sentence for underreporting his boss Carlos Ghosn's pay, the former Nissan executive is returning to the US.

Kelly was arrested in November 2018. The verdict on March 3 cleared him of most of the charges.

"Greg is coming home," US Sen. Bill Hagerty (R-TN) said in a statement. "Greg has been subjected to circumstances corporate America could never contemplate. What should have been a corporate board room discussion landed in the Tokyo prosecutors office."
