This guy is a genius, even from the way he planned his escape, he is smart. He can rescue any company

I live in Japan and it’s true ! They could care less about justice when it concerns foreigners.

If he can save himself from going down, he can save any companies from going down. Respect for this guy!

Japan's legal system look like a joke.

Im never buying Nissan again

This incident changed my view point on Japanese people

Prosecuters anywhere should not try to “WIN” they should TRY TO MAKE JUSTICE!

Carlos Ghosn is a LEGEND 💪

I am convinced that this chap has been set-up by the Japanese and Nissan Board. Bear in mind that the Nissan-Renault tie-up he instigated may well now be the saviour of Nissan Motor Co. Good for him and his wife and family that he got out when he did.

Carlos is a genius and saved Nissan....fact!

Chrysler hire that man ASAP and he will turn you around.

What kind of country has 99.9% convection rate, this is a jock, this guy exposed the legal system in Japan.

It was under his leadership that Nissan made the GT-R. Give some props to the man.

Look at the amount of love and respect between them, how you look at him while he speaks, and the opposite of a wonderful couple

People saying he should bem jailed without never having read one LINE of his process ARE those people who hates sucessful and rich people..

I hope Carlos Ghosn & his wife in Beirut are safe & will help in the reconstruction!

I'm glad Mr Ghosn did what he did, Judicial system under political control isn't justice

This must be about the Renault merger.

Mr. Ghosn is a smart and brilliant man with a high reputation. Japan lost in this case and will loose more over the years especially when the world has started to dig into their unfair injustice and inhuman judiciary system. Ghosn is the winner now because he escaped from Japan and can fight for his right and reputation. He is well safe and protected in his motherland in Lebanon

No matter which side of the fence you are on, you have to respect how much love he has for his wife and how much his wife loves him. Carlos and Carole Ghosn are relationship goals.

The mistake of Carlos Ghosn that he has hired an incompetent guy such saikawa, it’s a classic game I faced this myself at a very small scale I hired a guy who was a nephew of friend and he was incompetent and he went in conspiracy against me with my enemies

I wanted to share this excellent article from WSJ which reads so similar to the terrible things that happened to Mr Ghosn- our system is badly corrupted and very very few have the chance to fight but we must as we cannot believe our justice system! Jailed Like Ghosn, a CEO Took On Japan’s Justice System While Carlos Ghosn had to sneak out of Japan, Masamichi Sakai took on the country’s justice system -after pleading guilty just to get out of jail. By Peter Landers TOKYO-After 79 days in jail, it was pain from sitting too long that finally made Masamichi Sakai confess to a crime he says he didn’t commit. The 63-year-old owner of a construction company, under wardens’ orders, couldn’t stand or lie down in his cell. Pressure sores on his skin burned, he missed his family-which was barred from visiting him-and his own lawyer was telling him to admit everything. Mr. Sakai had held his ground during daily interrogations, he said, maintaining he wasn’t guilty of rigging bids on an $890,000 city contract for a retaining wall. But when his trial finally started in September 2018, he pleaded guilty so he could go home, at least until the trial was over. The court scheduled a second session to formally declare his guilt. Japan’s prosecutors were set to add another win to their record of convicting more than 99% of defendants charged with crimes. But Mr. Sakai’s wife, Shigeko Sakai, wouldn’t give up. Searching the internet on one of many sleepless nights, she had contacted another lawyer at 3 a.m., saying she was “clinging to the last straw" The new lawyer took the case, and Mr. Sakai switched his plea to not guilty-the first turnabout in a trial that would lead to an even bigger surprise. Prosecutors said they continue to believe Mr. Sakai is guilty as charged, and declined to comment further on his case. Takeru Yamamoto, an official overseeing Japan’s national prison system, said that making prisoners sit is standard practice because time-pressed wardens need to see at a glance that detainees aren’t hiding anything. Mr. Yamamoto said he couldn’t comment on specific cases but jails wouldn’t force detainees who are in pain to sit. The case of former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn has spotlighted Japan’s justice system, which critics describe as a kind of “hostage justice” in which authorities lock up suspects for lengthy periods, interrogate them without lawyers present and urge them to confess in exchange for temporary freedom and a lighter sentence. Mr. Ghosn, who escaped Japan at the end of December, said he was punished for denying charges of financial crimes and fled injustice. Japanese officials say they respect human rights and independent judges give defendants a fair hearing. The system “does not force confessions,” according to a Q&A posted by the Ministry of Justice in response to Mr. Ghosn’s allegations. Justice Minister Masako Mori has observed that Japan’s crime rate is extremely low compared with other countries, and political parties on both sides of the aisle have been reluctant to change a justice system many people believe helps keep the country safe. Nonetheless, some Japanese lawyers said Mr. Ghosn put his finger on problems that affect Japanese defendants more often than foreigners. “The interrogation style is to use any which way to extract a confession,” said Kana Sasakura, a law professor at Konan University in Kobe. Interrogators “will attack people at their weakest point. They’ll use psychological tactics like saying, ‘Your children are crying’ ” to make suspects lose their will to resist, she said. Since 1894, the Sakai family has run a small construction business in Ome, a city at the far western edge of the Tokyo metropolis. Mr. Sakai joined out of high school, and after taking over the business from his father, he said he was proud to be chosen as chairman of a local construction-industry group. When the city put out the retaining wall project for bid in 2017, Mr. Sakai said, he and other contractors realized it would be a money loser because of a tricky grade on the site. But in his chairman’s role, Mr. Sakai said he also felt a responsibility because the wall was needed for a new road. He said he called around to some fellow contractors and confirmed none wanted the job. He put in a bid just below the maximum amount the city said it was willing to pay, won the project and had his workers build the wall. At 8 a.m. on a Sunday in May 2018, officers from the public-corruption unit of Tokyo’s police department knocked on his door. Mr. Sakai had to come downtown right away for a chat, he recalls them saying. He didn’t get home until 11 p.m. It was the start of interrogations that would take place several times a week, which were technically voluntary. Initially Mr. Sakai thought the police were after local politicians. Then, in July, they came to lock him up, accusing him of bid-rigging. The arrest impressed on the Sakais the power of authorities to create a media uproar. The amount at stake was minuscule in a metropolis with a nearly $70 billion budget. Among CEOs in Japan, Mr. Sakai was as obscure as Carlos Ghosn was famous. Yet the arrest was on national television all day, recalled Mrs. Sakai, as media discussed the possibility that the case was the tip of the iceberg. A national newspaper featured Mr. Sakai in its series, “The Core of Shocking Crimes,” relaying the official line that Mr. Sakai wanted the wall contract and called in favors to get it. Toshifumi Hienuki, an emeritus law professor at Hokkaido University, said authorities had reason to suspect price-fixing given that Mr. Sakai exchanged information about bidding plans with potential competitors. “Why did he have to make the calls at all? It’s suspicious,” said Mr. Hienuki. “It’s logical to imagine there was some common understanding.” Once he was behind bars, Mr. Sakai said, police interrogators and later prosecutors urged him to confess. The interrogators, he said, kept saying some variation of: “Admit it! If you admit it, you can get out quickly. Don’t you want to see your family?” Mr. Sakai said he kept repeating his story. “For a long time, it was just that endless back-and-forth,” he recalled. His wife and daughters couldn’t visit, because authorities said they were involved in the family business and might help him hide evidence-the same reason Mr. Ghosn’s wife and son were barred from seeing him. Mr. Sakai said he lost more than 50 pounds in jail. Mr. Sakai said his initial lawyer wouldn’t ask the court to allow a visit by his son, who wasn’t in the family business, out of fear it might offend the judges. The lawyer’s advice, according to Mr. Sakai: “Just admit it all quickly, then you’ll be able to get out.” Once his guilty plea achieved that, his wife took him to see Nobuo Gohara, the new lawyer, who had been a prosecutor for 23 years before going into private practice. Mr. Sakai decided to fight again. He said he knew it was a long-shot, but: “I just couldn’t accept what happened.” To prove his client’s innocence, Mr. Gohara had to undercut every point made by prosecutors. He called to the witness stand five of Mr. Sakai’s fellow contractors, who supported his story. One testified he had been badgered by prosecutors into signing a document backing up the official account, but in reality hadn’t heard Mr. Sakai express eagerness for the job. The defense did a study of retaining-wall contracts in Tokyo and found most didn’t get any bidders. Far from defrauding his hometown, Mr. Sakai had done it a favor by raising his hand, Mr. Gohara argued. During his interrogation by prosecutors, without a lawyer present, Mr. Sakai had signed a document saying he wanted the contract. Mr. Gohara went back to the tapes of the interrogation and found that Mr. Sakai had said he didn’t want the contract-though the paper he signed, in theory a summary of his testimony, contradicted his actual statements. Tokyo’s deputy chief prosecutor, Takahiro Saito, said the recording of interrogations, which has begun in recent years, was an important change to the justice system. “There are almost no cases any more where the issue of forced confessions becomes an issue at trial,” he said. Mr. Saito declined to comment on Mr. Sakai’s case. Most defendants in Japan don’t fight. Mr. Sakai was the exception-and his case had an exceptional outcome. In September, he overcame overwhelming odds and was found not guilty. As Mrs. Sakai recalls it, the chief judge, who had earlier flashed irritation at having to conduct a full trial, said a Japanese phrase signifying, “Sorry for the long trouble.” Mr. Sakai has handed the CEO’s job to one of his daughters, and the business is once again allowed to bid for city work. But the case isn’t over, because prosecutors have appealed. “I tried to live a proper life,” Mr. Sakai said. “Why do I have to experience this pain?”

Ghosn is the best.

You are absolutely top man we all admire you,,,

It’s wrong what Nissan did to Carlos, I won’t ever buy another car from them but I will hang on to my gtr. I would have liked to visit Japan but you just can’t trust such a corrupt legal system.

Japan justice is a shame!!! And shame on France for not to make a step or say a word about Mr Carlos G incarceration!!! A proud women stand by her husband! Congratulations 🎉 to your family reunited! Nissan you’re scrappy! Shame on them!

Use 200M$ to track 14M$ from a well deserved CEO and Hero .... 🤔 very smart approach

i don't know if he did it. but i know about the judicial system in Japan and a lot of what he said was true.

You were responsible for the reborn of the legendary Nissan GTR . For-that Alone I know you are innocent

Lebanon should hire him as an economic adviser

Good wife Carole !

Never want go to Japan again

57 dislikes from Japanese :D

Lebanon should really leverage this man talent to take the country out of its crisis

Very good man. Wish him the best.

Carlos, brother, I am 54 and I never thought about anyone as a role model..not talking about your achievements, but your way of escaping..respect..

"I don't think there is any problem which has no solution." That's amazing attitude to have. That's why he went far in life!

Mr Carlos is really a smart man, him saying if you wanna do something make sure no one who is emotionally attached to you, knows.... Not exact words but you know what I mean

Thank you Sir!

Carole is a great woman and her husband is a very smart man, well done. I’m acquainted with immigrants living in Japan who have no money and got long jail sentences for minor infractions. In Europe they probably would have got 6 months in jail and in Japan they got almost 10 years. Wicked system.

Thank you!

Very good security team . Love this guy

The flame of the Olympics will go from Tokyo to Paris. How beautiful.

I was going to buy an infinity car but that's not happening now!

I clapped when I heard how He escaped from Japan.

The pathetic Japanese justice system and grid Japanese board members. They would do anything to ruin someone's life.

Carlos has been framed to destroy him. Good he escaped injustice.

The great escape

Great escape! Well done! Japan should be ashamed of its justice practices.

I'm very interested in this story.I am very disgusted in Japan for doing this to this man who is clearly a good man and done a lot for Nissan as a company.and they stabbed him in the back.I admire Carlos Ghosn Career.

You saw the Japanese for who they are. Remember ww2, they would never change

So, is this guy on a world tour or something? 😂😂 he’s everywhere

Love this guy and his loyal wife

There is no justice in Japan

Excellent interview. Good line of questions. Let's Mr Ghosn & his wife speak plainly. They come across as a really happy couple. I hope Mr Ghosn can do something for Lebanon.

Sir what next .... I would wish to see you spearding a new company . We want to learn more management lessons from you. 5 mins of chat with you we get to learn some thing .

At 3:21 he starts giving advice on pulling a big escape. HAHAHAHA what a legend

Behind a modern society and an advanced industrial country, Japan is still archaic with a judiciary system which doesn’t seem to be fait and prisoner of a culture of keeping face. Carlos Ghosn did what needs to be done and everyone would have done the same. Well done Carlos!!

Carlos wasted his time in a very primitive place !

I'm not gonna buy any cars of Nissan.

But now he might probably never be able to leave Lebanon. He would risk to be arrested.

Renault and Nissan is lost without this guy

It's as simple as this...The weak band together against the strong..

99.4 % Conviction rate wow dictator countries dream of having a a rate like that. He is 99.4% a victim imagine somebody who has a vendetta against you and makes an accusation, you are automatically guilty wow what a barbaric archaic system. Respect for Carlos to endure all the torture and staying strong through this ordeal. He has provided evidence of his innocence and Japan has no response because obviously they are 99.4% guilty of abusing the rights of an innocent man. Shame on the government of Japan for such injustices, they are the true criminals here!

I like how this video does not label him as “fugitive”. I don’t like the labeling of fugitive on the press conference video

A movie about Carlos Ghosn would be quite epic.

The fact we are aware of this high level shenanigans is proof the vails of deception are falling away.

For the people who do not trust Ghosn, watch some documentaries about their legal system It will scare you

Thumbs down must be from Japanese prosecutors. Although unconventional, Ghosn did what he can given his wealth and influence to get his freedom. More power to him. Now, the world knows what kind of broken and unjust system Japan works under. Explains a lot about how their government works.

Once a "Gaijin", always a Gaijin in Japan, let's keep that in mind. You can't "turn around" your genes...

What a man!

I will try not to buy anything from NIssan. Ever. Maybe I will extend that idea to the rest of products from there.

Any update about Mr. Ghosn?

Carlos must be the president of Lebanon 🇱🇧.

God keep you safe both of you not because you are famous or hero or powerful or rich but because it seems you are the Humans that respect Life meaning animal lives and have the respect not to harm them and I say that because of a feeling and because usually a courageous Soul is good soul

He brought back the GTR & Z. what do you think about that.

Gaijins will always be gaijins even if they help you

Long live Carlos ghoson, You are a really hero and a legend

Confidence & Knowledge he has is Presidentialy Needed

Respect.

carlos is the big boss! 💪😎 carlos !! president of France!!😁

What a brilliant man! I'm amazed that he's fluent in Arabic, French, Portuguese, and English.

His last name is Ghosn, pronounced, GONE. What the hell did they think was going to happen. LOL.

Japan’s legal system & corporate executives position are totally to be blacklisted by non-Japanese from now on.

Everybody has their own perception on innocence. there is truth and then there is the whole truth.

He is the successfull ceo ı have ever seen,nissan improved up by ghosh

Backstab in corporate world. Typical. not surprised there

They’re vindictive.

I am about to buy my dream car soon, I was going for Nissan or Suzuki !! but now I will never spend a money buying Japanese product

8:00 you're too close.

If there’s a charge brought up against you in Japan, and it’s taken to court, you I ain’t leaving innocent, you’re either forced to confess or will be given a charge anyway. Not to mention they’re xenophobic so ...

Wow i had no idea how terrible Japan is

He should have a new name GHOSTS IN THE BOX ...lol

Once you're airborne it's over

I'll keep his advice in mind for when I need to escape Toyota.

Carlos... You shout become a PRMINISTER PRESIDENT of LIBANON... You will get enough votes. Trust me....

Why he didn't go to Brazil,let me guess they would turn him back to Japan Brazilians wants money for his head! He wasn't proud enough as a Brazilian citizen!!

Here are some pure facts. The mansion in Lebanon is owned by “Nissan” not Gohn. Gohn is all ready and still misusing Nissan funds by living in the mansion. This already shows Gohn’s boldness and lack of ethical behavior. There is no doubt this guy is guilty. The country not providing justice is Lebanon. Lebanon should at least have Gohn move out of Nissan’s property. Why would anybody invest in such a corrupt country like Lebanon where you can’t even visit or reside in the home you own? Amazing how folks like to distract from the obvious truth here. The folks moaning and groaning about the 99% conviction rate of Japan. There would be issues with this if you’re arrested and go through trial in like 2 days to a week. Wake up folks. Gohn was released on bail yes? There was plenty of evidence being gathered and time for Gohn to defend himself. So how can one say the Japan govt is corrupt? Japan is one of the safest countries in the world. This is why crooks like Gohn standout. He knows he’s guilty. Same for his wife.

How foolish they are❕ 🤑

Global News, Interview the SF guy that planned and executed the liberation/escape operation, that would be interesting.
