He just roasted the Japanese justice system and Nissan in 4 different languages what a baller 😂

Having experienced the Japanese Legal system, everything he said about the way it operates, is exactly... 100% accurate.

A guilty man would just shut up and say, I'm 65 and I got away... They wouldn't want to push this further.

I would have done same exact thing to get the hell out of that country and back home with my family. You did the right thing. Speak out for justice

Never seen a CEO speak so many languages so fluently. Absolutely brilliant. His interview at Stanford university...specially on the topic of leadership was so simple but so profound.

I can't imagine how hard this must have been to be from one hour to the next in prison without the ability to inform anybody or to talk with anybody. Hell on earth and shame on Japan.

I respect this man quite a lot. Its a shame what Japan did to him. Hopefully he will find peace again and he will clear his name. Good luck mr. Ghosn

Mr Ghosn is a genius, hard-working, sharp like a samurai and well-respected worldwide. He said he loves Japan, He loves Nissan, how on earth they wanted to get rid of him. What a big mistake by Nissan

I lived in Japan 5 years, my wife is Japanese. I left, and I can understand that people would want to set him up. The Japanese business and work system is extremely rigid and he shook it up - and now it looks like they want to re-implement that same failed age-and-time based system. I don't know if he's innocent but I can absolutely see stubborn Japanese minds trying to force him out for good.

This guy is proof that the impossible can be achieved

Japan lost today. Objectivity won. The man should be weighed on who he is - what he did - and transparently judged. He got No Justice from the Might of the Japanese System. Thank God for his success in outsmarting them - Kudos - Congratulations and Salutes Mr Ghosn

This new arrest warrant for his wife is the most laughable and childish act I have seen from so called adults. Other Countries like the USA, Germany, France etc need to demand that japan be held accountable for acts like this . The japan prosecutor and those in Nissan who did all this should be arrested and tried in a international court of law for false arrest and slander of a innocent man. Japan is still holding Greg Kelly and he need to be released ASAP. Shame on the USA for not getting Greg Kelly out of that corrupt country

A man who knows his facts and the truth! Unfortunate that Japanese government 🇯🇵 hit the wrong man! It’s Japan’s loss! I can see this man will rise again.

Japan: No one can ever escape us Carlos Ghosn: Hold my beer

Carlos Ghosn is this generations' Howard Hughes. Innovative, Brilliant, Visionary of their industries and on top of that both have been falsely accused and have very public trials.

Way to bite the hand that’s feeding you! Nissan lost 90% of its operational profit as of today. Let it burn to the ground with their horrendous CVTs

Even as a Japanese I see there is so much problem in jurisdictional system in Japan, and he was really brave to speak up for his right. Wish the best luck for him

Nothing but respect for Mr. Ghosn and total disgust for the Japanese prosecutors. I’ve lived in Japan for nearly two decades and am very familiar how things work here. Japanese should bow to this man and thank him for his service and years of hard work. Too bad for someone who worked so long and built a solid reputation. Now, hopefully he can get the most important thing back, his name.

I love this guy I am happy for him to have regained his liberty. FULL RESPECTS. He sounds very convincing. In fact the first time I heard about this man I thought there was something exceptional about him. How many executives speak so fluently 4 international languages???? Wow! Initially he looked Italian and mafiosi, too. But a very nice guy!

I just love the fact that he can speak all these languages so fluently 🤗

Brilliant and charismatic. Did not disappoint and thoroughly justified in his escape from the injustices of the Japanese Legal system and the prospect of spending another five years denied contact with his wife, pending the conclusion of the trial.

99% conviction rate in Japan. Just think about that. Doesn't sound right, does it?

Thank you for your uploading the full session 😊

A very honorable man. One of the world's finest auto industry business leader.

Guilty or not, his escape was sensational and he deserves to be praised for that. Hats off.

The Judge, Nissan exec's and all lawyers were at their New Year Karaoki party while Carlos hopped on the bullet train outta there!

Torture is what you call it until his mind is totally lost. Luckily, he was able to escape before it's too late. Every normal person seeking justice would probably do the same thing if successful and brave enough to do it. This guy is courageous.

He is not a simple man. I would have done the same if it was me. People cannot expect to put a man down and they expect him to just admit that he is guilty, it does not work in that way. He is not guilty until proven otherwise and he has a right to speak to clear his name. Like what he has said, the truth will prevail

we need a movie on how he escaped japan!

He speaks such a lot of languages!!

He is machine, the big boss.

Carlos Ghosn was the son of refugee escaping persecution and wars in the middle east, He worked very hard and exceeded every one's expectations. He shared his wealth with his family and honored his people of three countries. President Obama thought very highly of him enough to offer him the job of GM CEO but he declined the double the salary and stayed with an evolving Nissan. Dishonorable of Nissan they deserve a boycott.

tell him come jamaica lets start a new car company

It's very bad if Japanese legal system does not even let a person to prove their innocence. That is a one-way legal system that will automatically suspect everyone of being guilty. Glad he escaped and I hope he challenges Japan for the world to see. At least in America we have rights to a lawyer at all times, there lawyer only 2 hours per YEAR!!

Carlos Ghosn earn my respect, here.

The way he presented his case leads me to believe that he is innocent. Brilliant press conference.

This dudes incredibly smart no way he's guilty

who else like me came here only for comments?

They straight tried to rail road this man of business. Japanese business leaders and system was out to get this man of business who help turn the auto industry around for the good of the people. I feel like he probably piss off the wrong people’s and they retaliate against him to the point that they wanted to destroy his life

Big Boss. Wish him the best.

Mr Carlos, sorry for not having you with Nissan, now nissan is losing a lot since you are out and what i say is i can see it every day because i work with nissan for 14 years and every time i meet with nissan Rep i can here them how much $$$$$$$$ they are losing. you will be free in years to come GOD Bless you.

Amazing man!! The best of good luck to you sir....

The most intelligent man on this earth

This guy is freakin smart, when you’re at the top everyone wants to bring you down 😝 those other executives doing who knows what want him to be the scapegoat

Is there any link to this conference that has English subtitles for the non English parts?

Monsieur Ghosn doit avoir droit à une justice saine. Visiblement il est certain qu'il est victime d'une sorte de complot politico-stratégico industriel de grande envergure. Tout mon soutien envers lui.

Glad he got to clear his name.

Nissan will fail and it should.

Intelligent man and a convincing story. He may have had a couple potential conflicts of interest, but many CEO’s do, and rarely if ever get put in solitary confinement. His escape is indeed a win for fairness and justice👌

What happened to Carlos Ghosn in Japan is because Nissan didn"t want to merge or better integrate with Renault. Let's not forget that in 1999 Renault and Carlos Ghosn saved Nissan from financial death . I hope things will end well for Ghosn .

Would never even look at a Nissan again!! Love you Boss!

I know exactly how Carlos Gosn feels. The Japanese justice system sucks... Everything he says about the Japanese justice system is true. I wish if C. Gosn exposes all the laws that the prosecutors broke.

He turned around a company that was 20 billion dollars in debt and made it profitable....A few millions missing along the way is relatively trivial..There must be something politically motivated behind his arrest like he said.

1:05:12 The Best of Carlos Ghosn, A Great Talented boss. 🇫🇷 🌎

He just did what a good CEO is supposed to do...you need to push your sales by pushing a seed of cash upfront. You fidelized and thanks your partners with experiences and "unusual" events to create contacts and share best practices. He had certainly huge compensations in nature (houses with buy options), and shares, but that is also quite usual in big corporate worlds....I only see the jealousy of some old japanese guys who got hurt by his succes, and the japanese government is approving of it as they are turning more and more nationalistic ( like many, too many, countries worldwide)...sad story for all the employees of Renault, Nissan and Mitsubishi...

Smart...genius!!! Absolutely brilliant. Go for it! The world is applauding for you except Japan ;)

This is a special man. Very smart very articulate.

China government should invite Carlos to China for their automobile market

Boycott buying Nissan vehicles, either brand new or used, in order to punish the company which will eventually flush it down the toilet.

Before you judge whether Carlos is guilty or not guilty, just google Japanese judicial system and the conviction rate of 99.9%. Then, you would understand how much power the prosecutors have more than the judges and the defense attorneys.

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?”

What a great guy, shame for japanese government. Long life Mr Ghosn.

all support for Mr Carlos thankyou for your Explosions what's happen

I hope the best and good health to Mr. Ghosn for speaking the brave truth for exposing a corrupt Japanese system.

Guy has to have his day in court, he will destroy them, they have zero case

Just between me and you buddy..but don't book your summer holidays to Japan..

One thing I'll never forget about Japan: politicians took the decision to build a nuclear plant (Fukushima) next to the Pacific Ocean.

👏🏻👏🏻👍 Esse é o Cara!!

what a revelation about Japan. All that glitters is not gold, It could be or in fact it will be "Cold"!!!

He looks so much like mr Bean....i dont why i am so happy looking at him.

I just found a rare negative comments of the justice system in Japan today.Carlos Ghosn defended himself today and found his justice.I hope japanese government can do justice on this guy..Maybe his big mistake is signing a chairmanship with mitsubishi and nissan was disappointed leaving them when they needed him the most.

You are a brave man..✊🏾

...the guy is smart no doubts about it....

This man is innocent. Well Carlos, look at the bright side. Now you can finally join... The A-Team.

Yo that’s Mr.bean! Ya’ll got the wrong dude!!

This man and his wife the speak more than five languages how smart

Seems to be the first prisoner in japanese history 😹😹

Thank you for bringing back the Godzilla.

i am watching this and all i can think about is waw... what a great movie this would make, and I can't wait to watch it

Either he is guilty of his crimes, or if he is telling the truth, Nissan is a company run by people who would put an innocent man in prison. Either way, someone is a criminal.

💛💛💛❤️❤️💛💛💛💛❤️💛What I mark he is wearing USD 20,- Casio watch on his wrist as a sign of humbleness! The Japanese even stripped him of his Rolex watch!

I think to myself: This Guy Can become a President in three different countries. Amazing!!

All I could say is that the new Nissan CEO and the prosecutor has no shame of trying to set up a foreigner CEO. They should be tried in the international court. They should be the one prosecuted.They are shame;less.

Why do you refer to him as a fugitive?

Carlos Ghosn for President of Lebanon!

It's a shame that brazilian government haven't done more to help him out. Everyone deserve a fair trial. 🇧🇷

Entendo que o Ghosn, prestou um formidável serviço à humanidade, ao denunciar o injusto e absurdo sistema jurídico japones, situação até então desconhecida no ocidente.

Those who thinks that Japan is Not Corrupt, Think again....

1:30:56 I love the way the BBC reporter says "cleaahh"

I worked in a Japanese company in Phils for 8 yrs and it was a hell on almost a daily basis. They force us to render overtime on weekdays and worked even on weekends, holidays , new year etc. most Japanses staff/officials are cruel and assume by are above all.

Mr. Ghosn has no excuse that for 17 years he didn’t see the gross human rights abuses towards foreigners in Japan. Very common knowledge for anyone who has stayed in Japan for a while. The harassment of foreigners by the police, the discrimination, the lack of any legal protections. He should have known better

Blimey, Carlos Ghosn is multi lingual

Lebanon need you Keep going Mr Ghosn

Papillon escaped from Japanese Concentration camp in 21 century.

❤️❤️❤️💛💛💛❤️❤️❤️ A masterpiece of event management organization! A extremely difficult task accomplished to get worldwide camerateams and journalists from many of the major media outlets worldwide travelling great distances! They must have conducted more than tenthousand of phone calls to achieve this! And Carlos Ghon delivered a Oscar-worthy 🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼🗼 high-level stage performance explaining his experiences with the Japanese Justice system! For me Carlos has proven his innocence beyond a reasonable doubt! 💛And both the companies Nissan and Renault have lost USD 15 billion since his arrests in market value! USD 14 million per day cumulative!

Jeez this is making me wanna change my mind about visiting Japan

Fascinating guy. Heavy hitter 👍

Free Greg Kelly !

Not guilty!!!

It's all about saving face for them
