BEIRUT: Carlos and Carole Ghosn, the former first couple of carmaker Nissan, are united again in Beirut. They hold hands in the street and whisper together in a mix of Arabic and French. They kiss.

But the pair's most visceral display of unity comes when they talk about Carlos Ghosn's former home.

"I'm done with Japan," said Carole Ghosn in an interview with her husband in a private house in Beirut.

Two weeks ago, Carlos Ghosn made a dramatic escape from house arrest in Japan, where he was awaiting trial on charges of under-reporting earnings, breach of trust and misappropriation of company funds. He denies all charges.

Shortly after Ghosn appeared in Beirut, Japanese authorities issued an arrest warrant for Carole on suspicion of alleged perjury related to the misappropriation charge against her husband.

....

Rotten ex-Nissan CEO escape to Lebanon.....can Japan bring him back for trial?

At least Ghosn menghidupkan Nissan on verge of death. Jholok just jolok 1mdb money like no tomorrow.

Both also salah. At least 1 is better than that fatty.

Cannot. Nobody cares about jpn

carlos wud nvr have win. he try challenge status quo n hurt d elites. he wud have spend d rest of his life go courtroom to courtrom until they force him confess.

joe low case diff. we nid a scapegoat n all finger point to him.

If the folks in Nissan are unhappy as what Ghosn is saying, he could have just resigned and walk away. He has the mney and stuff, no one forced him to go through with the change agenda.

So many cases where there's disagreement at the top, the CEO resigns citing differences in the way forward. Nissan is not his grandfather's company, he has no skin in saving the firm.

Say japan koyak, Lebanon, Brazil and France lebih koyak when it comes to the rule of law index....

Rich people have different standards.....can run away from the law, this is how the world is.

It is probably Japanese see Nissan as GLC and foreign taken over will not be happy for them?

It been some time that Nissan internal not happy that Renault taken advantage of Nissan.

There is some rumor that French have been asking carlos to increase Renault share in Nissan.

So they use law to remove him and put him in silence for few yrs. Unexpecting happen and the secret is out.

Now Japan and Nissan in shame. Specially the Japan legal system.

Nissan now is bleeding and share is down every month. That some sort of prove the carlos comspiracy story is real.

Somebody in Japan will harakiri.

Japan will send its secret Ninjas to extract him

If they are unhappy, they can take Nissan out of the union with Renault.......money can settle a lot of things. This is Japan after all, one of the richest in the world. The Japanese government can do a lot of things, including talking to the French government. Or getting Toyota or Honda to acquire Nissan to keep it all Japanese. As to whether Nissan will remain profitable with this move, it's up to debate.

If Ghosn's Nissan leadership team is unhappy about this, they can either all resign or pressure Ghosn to resign........You cannot fire your entire leadership team and hope to run a successful company, work still needs to be done. You can be the best CEO but if you cannot get the team the work, working with its culture, there's no way you can be successful. There's also no way of transplanting Renault's culture into Nissan.....it just wouldn't work. Look at the disaster of the DaimlerChrysler merger.......Someone like Ghosn will know.

Ghosn's story is just too convoluted to be true. Even giving him the benefit of the doubt, he's probably hiding some shit. With his wealth, he can easily hire the best defence lawyers and his court case will be publicized and scrutinized by the international press. He is now just an wanted international fugitive running..........Will you still want to have professional relationships with someone who skipped bail from a G7 country? Japan is placed among the top in the rule of law index, accusing it of being a broken system doesn't lead much credibility to your case....might as well say the US system is also rigged
