SoftBank probes smear campaign against ex-Prez Nikesh Arora
Masayoshi Son-led Japanese conglomerate SoftBank Group has set up a committee to investigate a smear campaign against former President Nikesh Arora. The committee will probe the "sources of unsubstantiated attacks" on executives based on "falsehoods, innuendo and erroneous media reports". Arora left the company in June 2016 after Masayoshi Son said he would stay as CEO for another 5-10 years.
