Former Nissan U.S. executive and Williamson County resident Greg Kelly arrived home to Tennessee on Monday following his suspended prison sentence in Japan and a nearly four-year legal battle.

Kelly was found guilty in a Japanese court of underreporting pay for his former boss, Carlos Ghosn, who successfully fled Japan in 2019 hidden in a box on a private jet to Lebanon. However, Kelly was acquitted of other charges.
