  • Former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn became an international fugitive after fleeing house arrest in Japan in 2019. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Mr Ghosn explains how he disguised himself to slip unnoticed through the streets of Tokyo, why a large music equipment box was chosen to smuggle him out of Japan and the elation he felt when he finally landed in his native Lebanon.
    Documentary series Storyville details his extraordinary rise and sudden fall in Carlos Ghosn: The Last Flight which will be shown on BBC 4 on Wednesday 14 July.

      I am a Japanese who used to live in US and I have been worked in global companies in Japan. I know how much Japan is different from most other countries more than foreigners expect and how much Japan is incredibly terrible country under the surface. There are many foreigners who say Japan is a beautiful country and people are very kind and nice. I would like to add "unless you will know the real Japan". It is very diifuclt to expose or understand well about real Japan under the surface because most Japanese people are nice and never say something bad to others especially to foreigners. Also, many foreigners cannot understand about some things happening here soon because they have never experienced the similar before. I really hope that those who are in Japan and will be in Japan from outside of Japan will make sure the ways to get out from Japan if something will go wrong, or will make sure to have someone who can support you even if you will have troubles in Japan. This kind of things are happening not only to foregners but also to Japanese people, needless to say. Once something goes wrong in Japan like this, there will be no way and impossible to escape from there. This time, I could say that Ghosn's decision and action are correct though it is impossible to do the same for normal people like me...
      Also, this kind of culture or organization system or atmospher are not only in government but also in companies and in the daily life. Of course, many foreigners are living in Japan without seriour troubles but everyone in Japan will have chances to get the similar troubles in Japan. Needless to say, it will heppen all of sudden and usually there will be no time to prepare for such troubles.
      I really hope that I could migrate to somewhere outside of Japan soon.

    As Japanese, What he's saying is true. We Japanese know how many good corporate executives have been in the same situation. In Japan, the law was revised by the US after World War II. But for some reasons they did not change the authority of the courts. The Japanese Prime Minister also tried to change the law, but he could not.
    Now, I live in the UK and studying law, it is clear that Japan have a big problem with this.
    If you want to start a business in Japan, you can get rid of people who are in your way like Carlos Ghosn by making friends with big politicians and paying them a lot of money. I would not recommend Japan.

      The high conviction rates reflect case selection and low prosecutorial budgets; understaffed prosecutors present judges with only the most obviously guilty defendants. If they weren't sure that he was a crook and that they can prove it without a question, they wouldn't dare to bring it to a court of law.

      One of my favorite RUclipsrs has been living in Japan for more than a decade now and in one of his videos he tells a story about the time he accidentaly hit with his car a young girl who was riding a bike. He stated at his first appearance before the judge he should have driven more carefully, even though the girl had also been driving recklessly, so the judge released him mostly because of that "confession", even praising his honesty. Had him insisted on his innocence I bet he would have faced some serious problems, such as Carlos Ghosn anticipated imprisonment.
