His life story is way too interesting to not make a movie out of it. Also looking forward to his trials outside of Japan.

by mistreating him they're making him even more famous

Japan is a VERY VERY conservative society. There's a legit historical reason why foreign CEO's don't take the top job of Japanese companies. World is not entirely surprised that this happened to Carlos. This was orchestrated to kick him out of the CEO role. He had become very powerful. Everything else is just noise. If Japan can get a face-saving alternative, they would not even pursue the case against him anymore. Remember when the Vice Chairman of Softbank (Nikesh Arora, ex Google President) faced allegations of unethical behavior (news reports surfaced suddenly)? Nikesh was supposed to be the successor to Masayoshi Son. Once Nikesh resigned & left Softbank, everything was cool. Carlos did not back down to the political pressures & he paid the price for it!

Japan is a country where CEOs used to commit suicide in cases like this. also considering he's at risk of discrimination, I would have gotten out of there as well.

Eliminated billions of loss for the company but arrested for spending a few thousand🤷‍♂️

99% conviction rate. What's the point of being a lawyer there? Prosecutors win 99 out of 100 times.

He has plenty of money. He did not need the money he's accused of stealing. Something fishy going on

Japan is one of those countries that have a ridiculous high rate conviction rate (99.9% according to some news), so I kind of see the point of him peacing out of there

I'm in no way advocating for Ghosn, but in Japan, you're guilty once accused. Being a prosecutor there is so easy because the judge is always on their side. There will be no fair trail in Japan. Just an illusion of fairness. There are so many videos where innocent people who had 20-30 years of their life taken away, and then they're not given any wrongful conviction compensation.

53k for a marriage is considered extravagant for arguably the highest paid auto executive ?, we spend way more here

Police officer at Carlos' house after he escaped: Sir...I think Carlos is *Ghosn* .

Whether he is guilty or not, peacing out of Japan was a smart move. Cause ain't no way would he get a fair trial (as the Japanese don't wanna lose face)

Reviewer : What if you’re going to spend the rest of your life in Lebanon ,are your ready for that ? Ghosn : well it’s better than spending the rest of my life in Japan 🇯🇵 ! That was a savage answer 😂

Japanese court system is insane. Like there’s no way to win there

Who is Carlos Ghosn? A supremely intelligent badass person.

The reason Carlos was arrested and charged was to remove him as CEO from Nissan and Mitsubishi -there is no question about that. The fact that they never managed to convict him or even bring him to trial despite 2 years holding him and the CFO without ANY communications indicates a lack of proof even with abundant if not all the evidence. What IS true is that Carlos G. exercised heavy control of all three companies and was paid more than other auto CEOs. There was plenty of embarrassing spending for a CEO that cut spending on all other employees, but Carlos's spending on himself pales compared to how much Nissan waists on unnecessary employees that needed to be cut. Carlos G. was arrested, but Japan is now the source of embarrassment. How can Japan be a major industrial power when it has a two bit kangaroo court for a legal system? Who would want to live or work there if they can be abducted by the government for no reason and left to rot? The root of the problem at Nissan (Japan?) is they have no respect for ownership.

Looks like Nissan and Mitsubishi doesn’t want Renault in their picture and the only way is to get rid of him

Japan shud b grateful to have someone like him even though he's a foreigner who helps Nissan from bankruptcy or near bankruptcy back to profitable again. the amount of money he spends if it's true, i think, is not justifiable for 10 years imprisonment he shud go for compared to the service he has done to that japanese company.

A friend at work told me about this story so I said let me check it out, and frankly, I'm on his side. If indeed he inappropriately misused a few thousand dollars, just let him pay restitution and move on. I believe its the fact that a foreigner came in and saved one of their auto makers rubs people the wrong way so now they want to disgrace him in a public way after he saved the company.

This guy is so smart, he saved major automobiles industrial companies from bankruptcy, his successful escape story is a part of being smart too.

This smells like a corporate conspiracy from the Japanese.

He saved two giant companies all the spending seems petty compare to that

Wow, 99% conviction rate. That’s messed up 😳

Saved three companies billions of dollars and insured that the future of the company and its existing employees was sustained . . Ok he was a little shady but so what . . He probably done 100 x more good for these firms otherwise they would have been out of business

So he stole $53,000 Does anyone believe that crap?

This is what man gets for HELPING! He should have left those companies to go bust/& face unemployment. This is what he gets for being SUCCESSFUL.

What is the point of having a reporter standing on the street in front of the court house of Singapore while the story is happening Beirut, Japan??? Especially this report is just a combination of old footages, they could of just shot it on their green screen and make the same or even better video.

He should be given fair trial before being put into house arrest.

This is the video I've been waiting for!

Have a nice retirement in Lebanon, Ghosn.

He's Ghone

I watched him live and he touched on all allegations. Clearly, there's malice here. How long does it take for a first world country like Japan to put a convict on trial? All that without bringing the case forward equates to illegal detention. They had no evidence against him. In fact, I don't think he would have escaped under heavy surveillance - they allowed him to do so.

If he was able to save the companies where worked from bankruptcy why he can't save himself from Japan. It's like a nutshell.

No one Mitsubishi, Renault and Nissan: Carlos, come back it's all yours now.

There are many businessman who do a lot worse than that, he must have upset people in high places.

One of the greatest CEOs of our time, a legend and it is obvious they were just trying to get him out of his role.

Carlos Ghosn led Renault and Nissan survived through 2000 Dot Com Bubble, 2003 SARs and 2008 GFC. Now must see how they go in 2020 Coronavirus crisis without Carlos Ghosn.

He is a good man after all he helped when the companies were in billions of debt and he fixed those problems and he has been accused of 16 mil. yeah that's right he have done some shady work but he also helped those companies in back.

This is going to be a publicity nightmare for Japan, I think they screwed with the wrong guy.

He saved a company from 35bn$ loss and they found him guilty for 800000$ and 53000$ spending??

Excellent report!

the editing on this video are gorgeous

Nice analysis

Living in Japan, I too recognize that Japan is the developed saudi arabia. There is no fair trial. If you are convicted, 100% time you end up in jail.

Just for fun... Remember when Japan treated him like a living God after he saved the company, launched the Nissan GTR program, made Nissan successful in Racing at home and worldwide? People hated him from the start at Nissan because employees were promoted for their seniority not talent or dedication. Employees with good ideas were not encouraged to share them, in meetings, seniors employees just talked when asked a question and just said yes or sorry. When someone had a good idea... If he had a boss who listens, the boss would be the only one to get credit and the employee would never be seen as someone worth keeping or promoting.

He always remains a hero

If you are from the UK or can access iplayer, watch a new documentary about him and his escape. It's really good, it explains where he started his career, how he ended up working in Japan and finally his escape.

I used to deliver the newspaper to the Green Beret that helped him escape, that guy's life is also pretty interesting.

His last words tho 🤣

Carlos outsmarted the Japanese CEOs and now he is on their crosshairs. He outsmarted Japanese CEOs that is unheard of. This man is a genius. Let him have his parties! He saved the car companies. It’s the least they can do.

Can't ignore the fact that Nissan and Mitsubishi, once revered automakers, suffered a massive drop in quality after the Renault merger.

The guy took nissan from a loss of 35 billion dollars to a profit of 85 billion dollars with companies combined, he made the 3 companies about 110 billion dollars in 6 years and you put him in jail for not even spending 1 percent of that amount.

WOW! This is actually a shocking confession considering Japan is one of the the and friendliest country in the world

I just can't imagine how he felt this betrayal backstabbing

This reminds me of Nicolas Fouquet and Louis XIV. Ironically downfall of both the men Nicholas and Carlos started in France. For an experienced executive like Ghosn, he was ill-advised on Japanese culture or could have been a lack of judgement on his part.

when are they going to make a movie about this man? please take my money!!

Great video!! Is this done by Singaporean media? Great job👏👏☝️

Bravo Carlos Ghosn you are a great man. You are a honest person. Everything will be alright for you.

Ghosn: I have escaped an unfair trial in Japan

I love Japan but justice doesn't exist there, if they want you to be guilty then you'll stay in prison without any reason.

From lebanon we greet you mr ghoson and our heart with you

Ghosn Carlos is a great man

Shame on Japan!.. Treating a person who live in Japan for 17 years with dignity an respect.. And all of the sudden put him in solitary confinement for 400 days ! Are you kidding me!.. Japan prime minister Mr Abe... Listen up!.. Do something for your country's judicial system and compensate and apologise to Mr.Ghosn for mistreatment and unlawful confinement. And clear his name!..

waiting for a Netflix series on this guy unreal stuff

It’s Ghosn with an “s”, not Ghon.

He doesn't need money, he is an innocent and intelligent man

So you’re telling the guy brought two companies from bankruptcy. In return he built a few apartments, used money for his children and wedding. Damn that’s crazy. No wonder Nissan was in debt.

If he can turn around such bankrupt companies..... even if he has used funds, still worth it .... to be real these companies are breathing because of him

It’s a pity that Carlos, on of the world greatest auto executive is thrown into this type of quagmire.

Foreigner in Japan, yeah right! Good luck🇺🇸❤️

He never refused to appear in court because he knows that he owes nothing to justice, but he will do so as long as an impartial trial is guaranteed and that it is not in Japan.

Reminds me of when Captain Schettino capsized his cruise ship, and then claimed he “fell into a lifeboat” by accident. Or when Captain Yiannis Avranas’ ship, The Oceanos, began sinking, and he along with the crew secretly abandoned ship WITHOUT sounding the alarms for the rest of the passengers. He later claimed “it doesn’t matter when I say abandon ship, abandon is for everybody. If they want to stay, they can stay.” People in power, who damage the trust of their positions, just reinforce the stereotype that absolute power, corrupts, absolutely.

finally some real news on CNBC

I will agree he made 10m or 50m even.... he brought back 35 Billions to Nissan ! I would love to have such Manager in my company

Japan, South Korea, same system, no place for foreigner there

Every time she pronounces "Goan" i loose it .

Carlos Ghosn not guilty, Nissan, Renault and Mitsubishi will go under further without him

I didn't know much about Japan, but used to think very good about them. Not anymore.

a legend

Wow, i get the feeling ghosn got this treatment BECAUSE he saved those companies in japan. There are some japanese who cannot stomach that a foreigner comes in and actually does way better work than them. In their eyes it makes the japanese ceo's look bad or whatever, even though he literally saved them.

Ah now I see why Nissan has been creating junk that last couple of years.

Top Ten anime escape where the hero accused as villain!

He is not fighting a system he is fighting a country systemed against foreigners

He is a legend

the man who saved nissan, renault and mistubishi and now Japan treats him like this??? Some things should just be settled out of court

This is another comment about this case, l really admire this man Carlos having duping the Japanese people. They think they are smart but Carlos is smarter. The Japanese people don’t appreciate n grateful to this man n this is what happens. Of course any man has greeds but he is honest in many ways n dishonest in some ways. I salute this great man called Carlos, l love the way he speaks with simplicity n honesty. Keep it up my great brother from Lebanon, your supporter from Malaysia.

Love Ghosn

These charges are too extreme ,ridiculous.

In a couple of years when Nissan goes bankrupt, he will be a free man. Why? Because how can a non-existent company press charges. Smart move Carlos. :)

last episode carlos ghosn refuse to give up in japanes prison and fly at midnight... to be continue 😋😋 and we will waiting next part of this series and will see him work in russian company to improve lada cars

Bruh all I gotta say is I dont care if hes guilty or not but Japan's court system is terrible. Just go watch the video about how judges would not overturn a verdict even if evidence was found that proves that undoubtedly a person is innocent, because the system isnt supposed to be wrong. And also no matter if they never find more proof once they bring a case against you they will continue to come at you until something sticks.

2:02 That Silvia though..

Wait he lifted Nissan from a debt of $38 billion to the 2nd most profitable company of Japan. Even if he had taken out $2 billion I would have been happy rather than persecuting him.

Now he became Carlos Ghost.

Because he had solved all the problems, companies learn his technique already and does not need him anymore. Compare to endorsement fee of golfers, tennis players, singers, movie stars... its small small money. Next time, just let those companies to close down for good!

There was a ton of missing information... he did never really received that money from Nissan, he’s been accused for not declaring what he would eventually receive (?). One other thing... the properties abroad ware bought by Nissan to host executives (standard practice in business world). And so on...

It's damn interesting escape 👌👌

the charges were contradictory in nature. Ghosn could have asked for ANY AMOUNT and the Board would approve BECAUSE he saved 2 great companies and gave them a fantastic future. Given his cult like status, WHY did he need to go around to get money? The charges were made up for sure.

I love Japan's treatment of CEOs.

Guilty or not i have so much respect for this guy, he's living the life and amazing adventure only a few of us can ever dream of.
