The dossier "is an unvarnished account of all stages of the crisis", says the Journal du Dimanche. There also is a report by an outside auditor. Renault had terminated three executives in January on suspicion of industrial espionage. The executives sued for €11 million, and Renault made a counter-offer for half, if the sources of the Journal du Dimanche are correctly informed. In the meantime, Renault has apologized to the falsely accused executives and offered reinstatement and compensation. Pelata had tendered his resignation, but Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn rejected it, "in the interests of Renault." Ghosn, along with Pelata and other executives involved in the case returned 2010 bonuses and receive no stock options this year. Inflammatory remarks by France's Industry Minister Eric Besson had strained relations with China. In an interview with TV channel LCI, Besson now blasts "serious dysfunctions within the company's management."
