Nidec, el mayor fabricante mundial de motores de precisión, advirtió de hasta ¥250.000 millones (1.600 millones de dólares) en cargos por deterioro derivados de un escándalo contable que llevó a la dimisión de su fundador a finales del año pasado y que ahora enfrenta investigaciones regulatorias más profundas. Investigadores independientes identificaron más de 1.000 prácticas impropias, retrasando las revisiones financieras.

Basándose en las irregularidades contables que provocaron la dimisión del fundador Shigenobu Nagamori como presidente en diciembre de 2025, Nidec divulgó el 4 de marzo de 2026 posibles cargos por deterioro de ¥250.000 millones ($1.600 millones). El escándalo ha atraído el escrutinio de la Comisión de Supervisión de Valores e Intercambio de Japón. Los reguladores podrían investigar pagos adicionales, lo que posiblemente derive en acciones penales. Fuentes citadas por Nikkei indican que los reguladores podrían investigar pagos adicionales, posiblemente llevando a acciones penales. Las acciones de Nidec en la Bolsa de Tokio han caído, amplificando las preocupaciones sobre la gobernanza en el sector manufacturero japonés. La empresa no ha detallado planes de resolución.
