He had been a 'person of interest' to Nissan's internal investigation, is not to say he did anything wrong though, right? Nissan (not Prosecutors) are just looking for dirt on Ghosn.

Munoz may know something about Ghosn's alleged financial conduct. Or maybe he knows nothing. But the whole investigation is getting really tangled and it's difficult to know which top executives (foreign and Japanese) at Nissan knew what was going on. If Munoz was involved, resigning from the company won't save him from prosecution. He probably should issue a clearer statement through his lawyer rather than posting a few comments on LinkedIn.

Getting all the foreigners out it seems, how does this help Nissan? They are still 43% owned by foreigners.

Japan's legal system isn't heading anywhere—it has always been like this but nobody cared until a rich foreigner was caught up in it.

It may well turn out that they are a bunch of crooks caught with their hands in the till---time will tell.

...until he resigned. Now he's not a person of interest because Nissan got what they wanted - another foreign executive out. If that weren't the case, it wouldn't be past tense.

So this is Nissan way to clean up anything related to Ghosn, lucky for them Japanese judicial system can work for their favor. All they need to do just make some allegations.
After that the system will take good care of Ghosn for two plus six months out from public view.

Japan's Legal system is heading towards that of China's, not surprised he wished to leave before the attention fell upon him too.
Japans legal system has reverted back to the 1930's, early 1940's. And it is getting worse.

Oh, make that Chinese operations. I'm guessing that means he's in China not Japan or USA. At any rate where ever he is, Nissan's friends can't get to him

He's in the USA, Chairman of Nissan North America operations

'resigned' is another word for pressure to leave in Japan..

„it is struggling to shore up profitability in the United States and expand aggressively in China.“
All without foreign labour?

Saikawa pressured him to leave, so he can clear Nissan from foreigners and buy back Nissans shares as its continuing to drop on the stock exchage away from Renault, this is the reality and humiliaiton of practices here in the corporate world..
