Watch: Ex-Nissan exec Greg Kelly returns to Tennessee after being charged by a Tokyo court

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."
