As we had previously reported, former Lotus CEO, Dany Bahar, has sued parent company DRB Hicom for “wrongful termination” of his contract and is now asking for $10.6- (£6.7-) million. When he was put in charge of Lotus, back in 2009, Bahar had a extremely ambitious and promising plan of launching five new models, in order to dramatically expand the company’s horizons.
However, his plans were cut short in June when he was fired from his position and the reason given for the move was "the results of an investigation into a complaint made against him by the company’s penultimate holding company, DRB-HICOM Berhad".

The official response of the Malaysian company was “Dany Bahar was dismissed after an investigation into his stewardship of Lotus [ . . . ] We believe we have acted properly at all times”. We honestly still don’t know what to believe regarding this issue, but we hope it gets clarified in the near future.
