@Angelici Ordinis Japan is a xenophobic and archaic society that refuses to change out of the fear of losing their cultural identity. They definitely have two sets of rules and laws for foreigners. I think the prosecutor saying those things as well with the Justice Minister saying that what he says is baseless is a slap in the face. Japan held an autistic Norwegian woman and her roommate in jail without contact to outside help for over 20 days because someone sent her cookies with trace amount of marijuana in them without the people knowing. The Japanese also give "IQ" tests to foreign students in Japanese about their cultural history that if they do poorly on get put in special education classes or made to tend gardens because "they will slow down the Japanese students". This is a country that refuses to display negative media on their news unless perpetrated by a foreigner and will not allow the terrible things to get out internationally. Ghosn has shined a light on the ridiculousness that is Japan and its whole media and government system.
Japan's Conviction Rate is 99.9 and that’s for the Japanese public. Can anyone imagine if the accused happened to be a foreigner? What are the chances of Carlos being exonerated? None.
My son is working towards his degrees to teach in Japan and we can't agree on this. He believes Carlos is wrong and there are reasons Carlos isn't disclosing for his charges. Either his faith in the Japanese system is blind; he does know a lot about it, more than I, or Carlos has legit charges against him but they don't fit our idea of a just law system. The conviction rate alone is highly suspect on its own.
@@kham3050 - At best this could be a white collar crime. In the U.S. the company's attorneys handle the issues surrounding the matter and at the end fire the accused if found guilty. In Japan, the prosecutors took over the matter and threw him in jail. The Japanese judicial system gives so much power to the prosecutors so that the assumption is guilty 100% and they can keep him in jail unless Carlos admit guilt.
There's a reason why so many murders are ruled as suicides in japan, because the police like to have a high conviction rate and they like to do it fast, it's not too far fetched that their justice system would be exempt either. Really a warrant for the wife who had nothing to do with this, this is just blackmail and an abuse of power on Japan's part.
Certainly the prosecution is terrible. But, conviction rate is high because prosecutors have charged only those that can be found guilty. The trial itself is fair

Actually I feel like Nissan has unintentionally tarnished Japan's reputation instead. Most foreign press have highlighted the archaic Japanese judicial system as an important part of this story. Nissan has added legal helplessness for foreigners to the image of Japan in the eyes of many. Im sure their neighbors to the east are quite amused by the whole situation. I mean even I got a good chuckle at the handling of the whole situation. What a PR nightmare for Nissan.
They bring him down ... the evil has done ... things will never be the same ... at lest he is free and on recovery ... but life is limited and they take a part of it from him ... and is not finished, they will take more...
As an fellow East Asian (Chinese), Japan’s legal system does not surprise me at all. Both China and Japan put politeness before honesty, and collectivity before individuals. What else do you expect?
Japanese companies will never, under current society, tolerate foreign ownership of large traditional Japanese companies. The society is still very suspicious of outside influence. Carlos should have realized this earlier. I expect Sr leaders of Nissan colluded with the Japanese government to take Ghosen down.
CG has unintentionally shed light on, and will possibly lead to a major change in, one of the world's most flawed and inhumane justice systems - another breakthrough achievement for the man. Go Ghosn!
@W You failed to indicate how his wife was involved in multiple communications with indicated individuals in the Middle East, which she had initially denied. There is MUCH, MUCH more to this then has been aired or printed... on both sides!
Japan has no history of civil struggle against authority. Thier democracy is a forced hand me down from America. No matter how openly shady they are, noones gonna complain and nothings gonna change.
This is a shame on the government of Japan. Trying to defend their despicable behaviour now finally been aired live thanks to Carlos correct decision to flee a unjust legal system. It’s only bringing about more and more focus on their persecution of their own people. Pass on the word and shame them. Even if he was guilty which I’m confident his not his treatment and that of his family is shocking
The fact is that Saikawa: CEO of Nissan had asked the prosecution for a plea-bargain to eject Ghosn, in stead of firing him in company meeting, in order to avoid Renault's buyout ordered by French government to Ghosn. Because Saikawa simply does not have nuts to raise his voice and fix this issue by himself. That's why Prime Minister Abe officially mentioned "I would like them to fix this issue within a company". Because he does not like to have diplomatic problem with Lebanon and also does not like to reveal Japanese 'media and governmental agency connection' to the world. In the Ghosn's press conference, only TV-Tokyo was invited to the conference room as Japanese TV station and only TV-Tokyo has broadcasted FOLLOWING critical points mentioned by Ghosn without trimming them. Because TV-Tokyo does not join the "Japan National Press Club": biasing vested interest media cartel in Japan, which is the axis of evil in Japan. Ghosn has mentioned important points of that... 1. Japanese justice system is unfair and outdated: He was in jail for 130 days without right of rebuttal, and he had not been allowed any communication with his wife for 9 months. The prosecution had abused an exceptional clause in "Code of Criminal Procedure article 60 paragraph 2" to extend his detention from 10 days to 130 days. Moreover, soon after he had been released, he was re-captured by the prosecution when he tried to open the press conference in order to speak up the truth. The prosecution might have silenced his critics by sending him to prison again. In addition, the prosecution had leaked/sold the unofficial information to media against a duty of confidentiality required by "National Public Service Act article 100". This corruption is frequently happened and intentionally ignored by the "media cartel" described above in Japan. 2. Japanese media is rotten: they had used and reported the unofficial confidential information leaked from the prosecution and Nissan without further analysis with the rebutment and contrary evidence. Moreover, they have reported Ghosn to general public as if he is criminal and terrorist. 3. Saikawa: CEO of Nissan had asked the prosecution for a plea-bargain to eject Ghosn, in stead of firing him in company meeting, in order to avoid Renault's buyout ordered by French government to Ghosn. Everybody are rotten in some points and have good aspect and bad aspect. Problem is that Japanese media and prosecution are manipulating the standard and public opinion with their massive power.
I love you Japan. I am your biggest fan. This incident will cost the country millions of dollars in lost revenues from potential tourism. Millions! Thousands will be affected. The world is scared to visit an unjust country that may just imprison you for no reason. It does not have to be true , it just has to be perceived as maybe possible. Mr. Prosecutor. Thought he was a big shot and just hurt his own country. You are fired!
Among other motives, certainly envy also plays a role. Executives within Nissan and officials within the Japanese government were envious of Mr. Ghosn phenomenal success as a leader.
With all the stories Carlos is telling the world about the injustice of the Japanese judicial system and the conviction rate of 99.4% and yet I haven't heard a word from Japan by any official defending their judicial system or telling the world what really are the charges that Carlos is facing. The main reason, I think, is that the charges are bogus and that's why the Japanese are keeping quiet.
Im a japanese and im all for Carlos Ghosn The current CEO of NIssan, Saikawa was caught for the same crime in Japan, but the only punishment he received was a resignation... So contradictory on Japan's part.
"I underestimated the emotional resistance of working together with Renault and with Mitsubishi." lol... Buddy check out John Belushi as the Samurai warrior on SNL.
I have 99.9% belief he was set up in Japan. There’s no logic behind what they said he did. They wanted him out as the CEO and this was the way they could do it.
ive been to Japan for 3 weeks to study TQM which is the core culture of manufacturing .. but I realy notice the lack of emotions and the unproper communication, I do understand Ghosn’s point here, and Nissan should’ve solve this behind doors .. they lost a lot by opining this fight publicly. (lack ot emotions& communications )
Japanese authorities have egg on their face and will now face scrutiny from senior officials in government. The people involved in this coupe should all be fired and made an example of if Japan wants to regain face amongst the business community globally.
Sounds to me like this man had the cards stacked against him. If he IS co-operating with the authorities and answering questions in the press, it sounds like he's honest. Japan DOES have an issue with 'saving face' as is the cultural tradition in Asia. Furthermore, let us not forget that there is something called 'Kiretsu' in Japan. This is a deep alliance of government and business which could have the pre-disposition to find scapegoats. I suspect this is what happened here: He tried to take the company in a different direction and was vilified.
Long story. Renault is owned by French government. Macron asked Ghosn to merge Renault and Nissan before he was president. Ghosn refused. Now, Macron is the president.
Japan justice is a fraud!! Bravo MR Carlos G! You were strong and solid Mr Carlos G!!! That is true! I believe him 💯 % I like the interviewer here, she is a smart women! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Miss Maria you’re great!👏🏻 He is a funny guy over all this! Japan SHAME on you all! 👎🏿 Don’t go to France Sir!
Ghosn saved Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi and his life too. If he can save himself in such a short period of time, he can save any companies from going down too. Respect for this man!
his conference was certainly able to impress several critical aspects of complaint which he had obviously been denied, independent from the general expectation for greed to be punished because it had been characterized as such. the 2 on 1 samurai duel with no interference option should still be available.
Big big blow for japan's image globally. I dont think many top managment people would agree to go and work in japan anymore. This case will have huge repercussions in japan in the years to come.

I bashed this woman recently for regurgitating an opinion from Colin Kaepernick in regards to journalism and why the hell that's even relevant. But THIS is real journalism. Thank you
The Japanese, and perhaps at the highest level of authority, helped Carlos exit, because the Japanese collective conscience did not express his satisfaction with the trial of Japan's economic hero Carlos Ghosn, for a charge if it was proven; it does not rise to the level of the of services he provided to Japan economy, just as his ill treatment does not serve Japan's reputation. Internationally, and does not satisfy the general sense of the Japanese people, there are a large number of Japanese who were not satisfied with this trial and the authorities do not want to be force to imprison him, there for the best solution was to get rid of him and therefore somewhere in the corridors of the deep authority a decision taken to allow this adventure to take place successfully
The big problem is Japan’s justice system. Fortunately Carlos Ghosn could escape from it, but I think of all the ordinary people who have been incriminated unjustly by forced confessions and whose lives have been destroyed. Something must be done !
Nissan makes JUNK. I bought new 2002 maxima and had to junk it because of under body rust was so bad it was taken off the road. 8 years old and nissan told me "so what do you want nissan to do about it".
That cheap Nissan is a result of Carlos Gosn’s cutbacks in 2002. So he actually got Nissan profitable in money, by cutting back in production quality. He’s really a typical greedy billionaire. Regardless of the Japan justice system, he is still a greedy scumbag not to be trusted..
I've Nissan Navara and i swear i'm gonna sell it ASAP and never bought a Japanese car ever again.. well done Carlos and thank you for enlighten the world about the unjust judicial system in Japan
Your coverage of the matter does not convey the fact . For fairness, you should interview Saikawa or Toyota for the facts. They will comply with your request.
Y. H. “Many Japanese” 20% of the whole country disagrees with the legal ruling as per your claim. That’s A LOT Sorry if English isn’t your strong suit. とにかく、多くの日本人でもこの件に関して疑っているらしいということが明確になっています。
@@martinbragalone 20% is not that much, there are always ppl with different opinions. I can see that you are not native by reading your Japanese sentence.
First of, I’m not going to argue semantics over made up statistics based on your feelings after talking to less than a hundred people. There are 126.8 million people in Japan as of 2017 according to Google. Just to get an idea of how 0.01% of the nation thinks, you need to talk to 1,268,000 people. You haven’t. You just want to argue Yet logic is not your strong hand. As the song says, “Let it go, let it go...” Bye.
I do not know if Ghosn is guilty or not, it is absolutely true that Japanese cannot take a foreigner being their head in Japan. I have faced it. If you prove that they are doing things incorrectly, they will get out out by hook and crook. Yet not all are the same, I still have some many good Japanese friends still now, probably because of their help I survived there for 6 years
Rebuild the company from the ground up, thereby ruffled a few feathers, thereupon had to stick his neck out, thus had his head cut off.

hahaha amazing take...of course if ur reasonable not all things will work, if ur unreasonable ur more flexible...but tbh he is both , to succede u need both, basically in order to succede u need to be flexible.
Many Lebanese have Mexican, Central American and South American roots and many were born in those countries and their parents and grand parents immigrated to those countries just like the US, Canada, etc. My husband who is Lebanese has family in Brazil and Argentina and hasn't seen them at all in a great many years and some that he hasn't seen at all.
This really changes my view of Japan as a modern civilized country. I went there once on business before but never again. What a joke going after his wife right before his press conference. It is so clear that no real justice was going to be provided for Ghosn.
If higher management doesn't want you, they will find a way to justify the made up accusations and deny it outright if it was discovered by others. It happens anywhere and what they do is to it by the book and black and white. The man who started it is a Malaysian who worked among the top management. Japanese culture won't let them get emotional towards Ghosn.
I don’t envy the imprisonment in a country where it seems there are a lack of civil rights. I’m not fond of the Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan consolidation. A real court needs to work this through. I’m not knowledgeable enough what this looks like.
According to the World Justice Index, Japan ranks #15 (0.78), above France which ranks #17 (0.73), above USA which ranks #20 (0.71), and well above Lebanon which ranks #89 (0.47). Country’s governance and legal system are analyzed and scored between 0 to 1, the closer to a 1, the better the system. So in fact Japan has one of the honest transparent legal systems in the world. Better than France, America, and certainly better than Lebanon. Of course Carlos Ghosn wants the trial in Lebanon, because it has a corrupted system, and he has connections and money in Lebanon, so he can bribe and influence the lawyers and judges there. He is now using the Media to fabricate a “Fake News” story on Japan that doesn’t match the facts. He wants to rig the system in his favor. His arrogant brash behavior and speaking is also strange, and hints to his guilty actions. This guy really comes off as a sneaky scumbag billionaire liar who did some massive fraud.
he took Nissam out of the grave, made them billions and I hear u complaining and they lost now, so what is the point? He is not arrogant he is successful and he escaped a nasty system , Lebanon is corruput as are many countries like Japan and France, both deserted him to sort out their interests. Dig in the story more, anyway he is just a person prone to make mistakes, he is human. In lebanon there is corruption but not disrespect for human being, so ur mixing the corruption of the political system and juridicial system/ Nobody will imprison u unfairly in Lebanon. Lebanese people have empathy 100000 times more than Japanese, they will still let u speak and see ur family if your in prison. Its a human thing to do , we are not animals u know, but the japanese treat humans like animals.
Japanese pearl harbor style SNEAK ATTACK!! ghosn was prosecuted and jailed for not reporting his compensation that he didn't recieve, while saikawa was not prosecuted nor jailed and he tooked the money and he didn't file!!! Gee where is the fundamental FAIRNESS !!!!
One article in Japan had a coverage on how major foreign media from various countries (US, France, UK, Lebanon, Brazil etc.) were reporting his press conference and interview. Fox was reported to be the most extreme, prejudiced and one-sided. You are watching very narrow-minded, subjective news even by the international standard. This is no better than how you guys describe "Japanese prosecutors who don't listen to the defendants side at all".
Unfortunately Carlos, nothing you do in Lebanon will serve to demonstrate your innocence. You could offer up a mountain of exculpatory evidence and the Japanese prosecutors won't even blink regarding their determination to get you back and see you convicted. Well done getting out of Japan but your world will forever be considerably smaller.
I understand why he fled. I also see that the only way to skirt the law of Japan is to be rich and have defenders in the US MSM. I would have done the same don't get me wrong.
Just because someone is rich and successful, it doesn't mean they can't be afflicted by injustice. Japan's criminal justice system is notoriously draconian. You can't have a 99,4% conviction rate and call it justice.
In Japan anybody can be detained for any reason for up to three weeks roughly. And if your a foreigner everything may work well for you..until something doesn't. It could be a car accident where you are 100% at fault for no rational reason, or being a successful businessman with no Japanese business ties getting accused of embezzlement, etc.
Can't he travel to the U.S.? He should have taken that job that was offered to him in the U.S., but he wanted to save a company, and he did, then they betrayed him. Man, I'd be losing my mind. First of all, people assume you're guilty because you escaped, second of all, people assume you're guilty because you're rich and successful. I like to travel, but I will never go to Japan, and the people are nice, honest people, but the justice system is terrible. This man hired many Japanese people, and there were no complaints about pay, about treatment, nothing. Usually when someone is charged with high crimes, there is a pattern of behavior. This is just weird. I don't know if he's innocent or guilty, but, 2+2 does not equal 5, so that gives me the benefit of the doubt. Something's not adding up.
The prime minister said it should have never went beyond Nissan, but the prosecutor wants to arrest him. Go figure. Looking bad or looking guilty. Nissan should have cleaned up their house before Carlos even became a thought.
Japanese media are making money by accusing him of those charges alongside the prosecutor office. Most of Japanese don’t know cruelty of their own judicial system and believed what they reported. This is the good opportunity to awake Japanese citizens to know the reality. Ghosn was detained for 108 days before the trial this won’t take place in the US or Europe. Prime Minister Abe also showed his slight regret recently. He said that this case should not have brought to the court and that Nissan needed to resolve its own internal struggle in it.
He invited a Japanese music band in his house in Japan to perform some of his favourite songs before getting back to the prison and he escaped in a music box.
Carlos was right for escaping. Good luck to him

The Confucian heirarchy has merit . But an obvious flaw of it , as it manifests today is , Whoever has power and wealth is regarded as Superior Man .
@@dedosdigital what merits ?
Japanese companies will never, under current society, tolerate foreign ownership of large traditional Japanese companies. The society is still very suspicious of outside influence. Carlos should have realized this earlier. I expect Sr leaders of Nissan colluded with the Japanese government to take Ghosen down.
true
i believe his story and not Japans, glad he got out, this is a huge bad mark for Japan looks like what would happen in Russia or China.
99.4% conviction rate..that's all I had to hear.
The first properly good interview! THANK YOU.Maria!
I want to see her interview the SF guy that did this brilliant operation.
CG has unintentionally shed light on, and will possibly lead to a major change in, one of the world's most flawed and inhumane justice systems - another breakthrough achievement for the man. Go Ghosn!
I hope so.
Japan does not want to appear to be similar to China’s judicial system, but this is how these countries work. That is the reality. “When in Rome...”
So says Mike, whose only experience with China are Bruce Lee's workout videos.
@W didnt steal anything.
@W You failed to indicate how his wife was involved in multiple communications with indicated individuals in the Middle East, which she had initially denied.
There is MUCH, MUCH more to this then has been aired or printed... on both sides!
But he Carlos Ghosn is already jast a YAKUZA... 🙄
Japan has no history of civil struggle against authority. Thier democracy is a forced hand me down from America. No matter how openly shady they are, noones gonna complain and nothings gonna change.
What a shame with the Japanese System, I am not surprised. It does not prevent me from Loving the Japanese food though.
In Japan they have a weird justice system, guilty till you prove ur innocence, police have very draconian powers.
This is a shame on the government of Japan. Trying to defend their despicable behaviour now finally been aired live thanks to Carlos correct decision to flee a unjust legal system. It’s only bringing about more and more focus on their persecution of their own people. Pass on the word and shame them. Even if he was guilty which I’m confident his not his treatment and that of his family is shocking
The fact is that Saikawa: CEO of Nissan had asked the prosecution for a plea-bargain to eject Ghosn, in stead of firing him in company meeting, in order to avoid Renault's buyout ordered by French government to Ghosn.
Because Saikawa simply does not have nuts to raise his voice and fix this issue by himself.
That's why Prime Minister Abe officially mentioned "I would like them to fix this issue within a company".
Because he does not like to have diplomatic problem with Lebanon and also does not like to reveal Japanese 'media and governmental agency connection' to the world.
In the Ghosn's press conference, only TV-Tokyo was invited to the conference room as Japanese TV station and only TV-Tokyo has broadcasted FOLLOWING critical points mentioned by Ghosn without trimming them.
Because TV-Tokyo does not join the "Japan National Press Club": biasing vested interest media cartel in Japan, which is the axis of evil in Japan.
Ghosn has mentioned important points of that...
1. Japanese justice system is unfair and outdated: He was in jail for 130 days without right of rebuttal, and he had not been allowed any communication with his wife for 9 months.
The prosecution had abused an exceptional clause in "Code of Criminal Procedure article 60 paragraph 2" to extend his detention from 10 days to 130 days.
Moreover, soon after he had been released, he was re-captured by the prosecution when he tried to open the press conference in order to speak up the truth.
The prosecution might have silenced his critics by sending him to prison again.
In addition, the prosecution had leaked/sold the unofficial information to media against a duty of confidentiality required by "National Public Service Act article 100".
This corruption is frequently happened and intentionally ignored by the "media cartel" described above in Japan.
2. Japanese media is rotten: they had used and reported the unofficial confidential information leaked from the prosecution and Nissan without further analysis with the rebutment and contrary evidence.
Moreover, they have reported Ghosn to general public as if he is criminal and terrorist.
3. Saikawa: CEO of Nissan had asked the prosecution for a plea-bargain to eject Ghosn, in stead of firing him in company meeting, in order to avoid Renault's buyout ordered by French government to Ghosn.
Everybody are rotten in some points and have good aspect and bad aspect.
Problem is that Japanese media and prosecution are manipulating the standard and public opinion with their massive power.
I love you Japan. I am your biggest fan. This incident will cost the country millions of dollars in lost revenues from potential tourism. Millions! Thousands will be affected. The world is scared to visit an unjust country that may just imprison you for no reason. It does not have to be true , it just has to be perceived as maybe possible. Mr. Prosecutor. Thought he was a big shot and just hurt his own country.
You are fired!
Listen CNN, NBC. CBS, ABC... Pelosi and the House! This is Journalism at its finest! Congratulations Maria as instrument and herald of the Truth!
paid troll.
What I always liked with Fox was the honest way they chose side. They never leave you inn doubt about wha t they think about someone :-)
Among other motives, certainly envy also plays a role. Executives within Nissan and officials within the Japanese government were envious of Mr. Ghosn phenomenal success as a leader.
With all the stories Carlos is telling the world about the injustice of the Japanese judicial system and the conviction rate of 99.4% and yet I haven't heard a word from Japan by any official defending their judicial system or telling the world what really are the charges that Carlos is facing. The main reason, I think, is that the charges are bogus and that's why the Japanese are keeping quiet.
Sounds like the Democratic's treatment of our Prez
amen
Trump is innocent, but this guy is not. This guy is crooked.
Carlos Ghosn did the right thing. We all have a moral duty to disobey unjust laws
I like Mr Carlos!
Im a japanese and im all for Carlos Ghosn
The current CEO of NIssan, Saikawa was caught for the same crime in Japan, but the only punishment he received was a resignation...
So contradictory on Japan's part.
I hear Iran's looking to hire a new general........Donald Trump creating more jobs every day.
@M P : Major General to be exact.. Direct report TOP Mullah..
@Jerome Lund, as fast as these swamp creatures reveal themselves, he is busy trying to replace them. Corruption runs very deep in that city.
Oh very funny !
Japanese PM saying it should have been sorted out within Nissan - but Nissan chose to screw him via police.
"I underestimated the emotional resistance of working together with Renault and with Mitsubishi." lol... Buddy check out John Belushi as the Samurai warrior on SNL.
Wow. Japan's legal system has some serious problems
I have 99.9% belief he was set up in Japan. There’s no logic behind what they said he did. They wanted him out as the CEO and this was the way they could do it.
ive been to Japan for 3 weeks to study TQM which is the core culture of manufacturing .. but I realy notice the lack of emotions and the unproper communication, I do understand Ghosn’s point here, and Nissan should’ve solve this behind doors .. they lost a lot by opining this fight publicly. (lack ot emotions& communications )
Japanese authorities have egg on their face and will now face scrutiny from senior officials in government. The people involved in this coupe should all be fired and made an example of if Japan wants to regain face amongst the business community globally.
Sounds to me like this man had the cards stacked against him. If he IS co-operating with the authorities and answering questions in the press, it sounds like he's honest. Japan DOES have an issue with 'saving face' as is the cultural tradition in Asia. Furthermore, let us not forget that there is something called 'Kiretsu' in Japan. This is a deep alliance of government and business which could have the pre-disposition to find scapegoats. I suspect this is what happened here: He tried to take the company in a different direction and was vilified.
Love Maria. She's the real deal. Love her interviews, on point and respectful.
if he is innocent then why did Renault fire him and he had to go to Lebanon to avoid being arrested again.
Long story. Renault is owned by French government. Macron asked Ghosn to merge Renault and Nissan before he was president. Ghosn refused. Now, Macron is the president.
Japan justice is a fraud!!
Bravo MR Carlos G!
You were strong and solid Mr Carlos G!!!
That is true!
I believe him 💯 %
I like the interviewer here, she is a smart women! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Miss Maria you’re great!👏🏻
He is a funny guy over all this!
Japan SHAME on you all! 👎🏿
Don’t go to France Sir!
I do not know if Ghosn committed any crimes. But it is clear that Japan is guilty as charged.
Let's boycott Tokyo Olympic
Please do! I live in central Tokyo and it is far too crowded without the olympic traffic. Go Ghosn!
I am not Korean. Nor a Japan hater. We can all tell you hate non-Japanese.
But Trump already hates Moon Jae-in without fake news... 🙄
Ghosn saved Renault, Nissan, Mitsubishi and his life too. If he can save himself in such a short period of time, he can save any companies from going down too. Respect for this man!
his conference was certainly able to impress several critical aspects of complaint which he had obviously been denied, independent from the general expectation for greed to be punished because it had been characterized as such. the 2 on 1 samurai duel with no interference option should still be available.
Big big blow for japan's image globally. I dont think many top managment people would agree to go and work in japan anymore. This case will have huge repercussions in japan in the years to come. Maybe a total overhaul of the justice system, If they feel that they totally lost the global popular opinion. Only this way they will regain the image they always had abroad.
I bashed this woman recently for regurgitating an opinion from Colin Kaepernick in regards to journalism and why the hell that's even relevant. But THIS is real journalism. Thank you
Sounds like they've got BAR member's within Japan...
The Japanese, and perhaps at the highest level of authority, helped
Carlos exit, because the Japanese collective conscience did not express his
satisfaction with the trial of Japan's economic hero Carlos Ghosn, for a charge
if it was proven; it does not rise to the level of the of services he provided
to Japan economy, just as his ill treatment does not serve Japan's reputation.
Internationally, and does not satisfy the general sense of the Japanese people,
there are a large number of Japanese who were not satisfied with this trial and
the authorities do not want to be force to imprison him, there for the best
solution was to get rid of him and therefore somewhere in the corridors of the
deep authority a decision taken to allow this adventure to take place
successfully
The big problem is Japan’s justice system. Fortunately Carlos Ghosn could escape from it, but I think of all the ordinary people who have been incriminated unjustly by forced confessions and whose lives have been destroyed. Something must be done !
Nissan makes JUNK. I bought new 2002 maxima and had to junk it because of under body rust was so bad it was taken off the road. 8 years old and nissan told me "so what do you want nissan to do about it".
That has been the case for the past 50 years..
@Jerome Lund : should have used virgin steel in the first place....
I Paid over $32,000.00 They said that was all done. Only thing I did not get on the car was their gps.
That cheap Nissan is a result of Carlos Gosn’s cutbacks in 2002. So he actually got Nissan profitable in money, by cutting back in production quality. He’s really a typical greedy billionaire. Regardless of the Japan justice system, he is still a greedy scumbag not to be trusted..
Companies don’t behave this way with senior executives. They fire them....Nissan is guilty
ذكاء عربى عاش لبنان وعاشت العروبة مسيحيين و مسلمين
There’s no reason for this prison the charges are really non sense
cristiano reis yo wtf is with Maria’s accent? Is she from Bulgaria?
I've Nissan Navara and i swear i'm gonna sell it ASAP and never bought a Japanese car ever again.. well done Carlos and thank you for enlighten the world about the unjust judicial system in Japan
You made it well done
Your coverage of the matter does not convey the fact . For fairness, you should interview Saikawa or Toyota for the facts. They will comply with your request.
I live in Japan. Even many Japanese realize this case is BS. He made money. Oh well.
Same. Most people (Japanese) I talked to about this case don't believe that the justice system in it's current form is just.
Wrong. Carlos himself mentioned in his separate interview that more than 80% of the Japanese believe he's guilty.
Y. H.
“Many Japanese”
20% of the whole country disagrees with the legal ruling as per your claim. That’s A LOT
Sorry if English isn’t your strong suit. とにかく、多くの日本人でもこの件に関して疑っているらしいということが明確になっています。
@@martinbragalone 20% is not that much, there are always ppl with different opinions. I can see that you are not native by reading your Japanese sentence.
First of, I’m not going to argue semantics over made up statistics based on your feelings after talking to less than a hundred people. There are 126.8 million people in Japan as of 2017 according to Google.
Just to get an idea of how 0.01% of the nation thinks, you need to talk to 1,268,000 people.
You haven’t.
You just want to argue
Yet logic is not your strong hand.
As the song says, “Let it go, let it go...”
Bye.
He should have accepted the General Motors gig. He would have been celebrated.
I do not know if Ghosn is guilty or not, it is absolutely true that Japanese cannot take a foreigner being their head in Japan. I have faced it. If you prove that they are doing things incorrectly, they will get out out by hook and crook. Yet not all are the same, I still have some many good Japanese friends still now, probably because of their help I survived there for 6 years
Good Luk!
This man is every anime character that you love to hate.
Rebuild the company from the ground up, thereby ruffled a few feathers, thereupon had to stick his neck out, thus had his head cut off. He was the visionary, unconventional and for many who are emotionally vested unreasonable. Now with the performance of the involved companies down, we can conclude again that all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
hahaha amazing take...of course if ur reasonable not all things will work, if ur unreasonable ur more flexible...but tbh he is both , to succede u need both, basically in order to succede u need to be flexible.
Sorry but the english subtitles appeared too earlier..Not at the same moment when people talk..Best regards
Maria is the best... If I had to pick one news broadcaster that I can trust it will always be Maria.
Many Lebanese have Mexican, Central American and South American roots and many were born in those countries and their parents and grand parents immigrated to those countries just like the US, Canada, etc. My husband who is Lebanese has family in Brazil and Argentina and hasn't seen them at all in a great many years and some that he hasn't seen at all.
This really changes my view of Japan as a modern civilized country. I went there once on business before but never again. What a joke going after his wife right before his press conference. It is so clear that no real justice was going to be provided for Ghosn.
Many of Japan's authorities, especially prosecution are infiltrators, especially since around 1900. They are Korean/Chinese descendants.
🤔 I’ll stick with my Ford & Chevy... 🤣
👍👍👍
Buy a Toyota American cars suck
@Inkognitoleg its not like nissan
is better car ..
Great escape.
If higher management doesn't want you, they will find a way to justify the made up accusations and deny it outright if it was discovered by others. It happens anywhere and what they do is to it by the book and black and white. The man who started it is a Malaysian who worked among the top management. Japanese culture won't let them get emotional towards Ghosn.
I don’t envy the imprisonment in a country where it seems there are a lack of civil rights. I’m not fond of the Renault, Mitsubishi, Nissan consolidation. A real court needs to work this through. I’m not knowledgeable enough what this looks like.
According to the World Justice Index, Japan ranks #15 (0.78), above France which ranks #17 (0.73), above USA which ranks #20 (0.71), and well above Lebanon which ranks #89 (0.47). Country’s governance and legal system are analyzed and scored between 0 to 1, the closer to a 1, the better the system. So in fact Japan has one of the honest transparent legal systems in the world. Better than France, America, and certainly better than Lebanon. Of course Carlos Ghosn wants the trial in Lebanon, because it has a corrupted system, and he has connections and money in Lebanon, so he can bribe and influence the lawyers and judges there. He is now using the Media to fabricate a “Fake News” story on Japan that doesn’t match the facts. He wants to rig the system in his favor. His arrogant brash behavior and speaking is also strange, and hints to his guilty actions. This guy really comes off as a sneaky scumbag billionaire liar who did some massive fraud.
he took Nissam out of the grave, made them billions and I hear u complaining and they lost now, so what is the point? He is not arrogant he is successful and he escaped a nasty system , Lebanon is corruput as are many countries like Japan and France, both deserted him to sort out their interests. Dig in the story more, anyway he is just a person prone to make mistakes, he is human. In lebanon there is corruption but not disrespect for human being, so ur mixing the corruption of the political system and juridicial system/ Nobody will imprison u unfairly in Lebanon. Lebanese people have empathy 100000 times more than Japanese, they will still let u speak and see ur family if your in prison. Its a human thing to do , we are not animals u know, but the japanese treat humans like animals.
Japanese pearl harbor style SNEAK ATTACK!! ghosn was prosecuted and jailed for not reporting his compensation that he didn't recieve, while saikawa was not prosecuted nor jailed and he tooked the money and he didn't file!!! Gee where is the fundamental FAIRNESS !!!!
This is crazy! What the heck did he do? Nothing! Maybe give him a fine or something but definately dont push him through this ordeal in a prison!
Love Japan, like it's culture.
Going, going, Goshn!
One article in Japan had a coverage on how major foreign media from various countries (US, France, UK, Lebanon, Brazil etc.) were reporting his press conference and interview. Fox was reported to be the most extreme, prejudiced and one-sided. You are watching very narrow-minded, subjective news even by the international standard. This is no better than how you guys describe "Japanese prosecutors who don't listen to the defendants side at all".
just as ur comment seem one sided itself lol...Fox speak more of the truth really....so here u are following what the japanese are saying....
Unfortunately Carlos, nothing you do in Lebanon will serve to demonstrate your innocence. You could offer up a mountain of exculpatory evidence and the Japanese prosecutors won't even blink regarding their determination to get you back and see you convicted. Well done getting out of Japan but your world will forever be considerably smaller.
Where is the 2. part??
I understand why he fled. I also see that the only way to skirt the law of Japan is to be rich and have defenders in the US MSM. I would have done the same don't get me wrong.
Just because someone is rich and successful, it doesn't mean they can't be afflicted by injustice. Japan's criminal justice system is notoriously draconian. You can't have a 99,4% conviction rate and call it justice.
In Japan anybody can be detained for any reason for up to three weeks roughly. And if your a foreigner everything may work well for you..until something doesn't. It could be a car accident where you are 100% at fault for no rational reason, or being a successful businessman with no Japanese business ties getting accused of embezzlement, etc.
Can't he travel to the U.S.? He should have taken that job that was offered to him in the U.S., but he wanted to save a company, and he did, then they betrayed him. Man, I'd be losing my mind. First of all, people assume you're guilty because you escaped, second of all, people assume you're guilty because you're rich and successful. I like to travel, but I will never go to Japan, and the people are nice, honest people, but the justice system is terrible. This man hired many Japanese people, and there were no complaints about pay, about treatment, nothing. Usually when someone is charged with high crimes, there is a pattern of behavior. This is just weird. I don't know if he's innocent or guilty, but, 2+2 does not equal 5, so that gives me the benefit of the doubt. Something's not adding up.
Maria, when Carlos laugh, you laugh or smile back, this man can manage Fox and CNN together.
The prime minister said it should have never went beyond Nissan, but the prosecutor wants to arrest him. Go figure. Looking bad or looking guilty. Nissan should have cleaned up their house before Carlos even became a thought.
Japanese media are making money by accusing him of those charges alongside the prosecutor office. Most of Japanese don’t know cruelty of their own judicial system and believed what they reported. This is the good opportunity to awake Japanese citizens to know the reality.
Ghosn was detained for 108 days before the trial this won’t take place in the US or Europe.
Prime Minister Abe also showed his slight regret recently. He said that this case should not have brought to the court and that Nissan needed to resolve its own internal struggle in it.
HOW DID HE GET OUT?
💸
In a Nissan!
He invited a Japanese music band in his house in Japan to perform some of his favourite songs before getting back to the prison and he escaped in a music box.
