The embattled former auto titan Carlos Ghosn has left Japan for Lebanon to escape what he called a "rigged Japanese justice system."
Ghosn's sudden departure from the country where he was awaiting a highly publicized criminal trial marks a dramatic twist in a yearlong saga that resulted in his ouster as chairman of Nissan and chairman and CEO of its alliance partner Renault.
"I am now in Lebanon and will no longer be held hostage by a rigged Japanese justice system where guilt is presumed, discrimination is rampant, and basic human rights are denied, in flagrant disregard of Japan's legal obligations under international law and treaties it is bound to uphold," he said in a statement, which was released on his behalf by a public relations firm.
CNN's David Culver reports.

Damn, they’ll be a movie made about this
When i ll kill him there will be
Christian Bale already gained weight for the role.
@Maurice Hachache True, he’ll have his buddies and guys that “like” him back him up. Courts will run slowly to help a rich man in Lebanon.
Corruption rating for Lebanon is 138th out of 180 countries. Japan is 18th.

@Lacsap Eduoa with all the same conditions as donnie: free unsecured WiFi and cell service, tech service from the crew that visited the oval office in Jan 2017, election ‘protections’.
He seen the Rampage fight and couldn’t take it anymore.
It was fedor js
i couldn’t take it either
Mighty Warrior he s seen justice prosecuting rich people: he couldn’t handle it!!!!
@Waxoff Waxon well he’s welcome home, and screw Japan.
I totally realize Tom secretly completed this impossible mission.
lol
And soon tom will secretly complete the mission of assassinating him
I can neither confirm nor deny any assistance that may have been provided or not provided to Ghosn the ghost.
JJ Walk you mean Ethan
He is now Carlos Ghost.
@Frédéric MAIRE well the s in Ghosn(غصن) is not silent so Carlos Ghost works out better
@Frédéric MAIRE gosn or gosèn
Brasilians are especilists in flees of the justice?
@Homo Quantum Sapiens I was about to say the same thing but was sure somebody already caught it.
😉Carlos is the real Madoff’s 🤣
He’s Caught.😂
@Lucretia Bailey he’s come back home and he’s welcome in his country and the Japanese can go to hell with their Nissan, he should have let it go bust.
@Maurice Hachache Well said!
@R M thanks
@Lucretia Bailey Wrong. The Japanese system is fucked (99% conviction rate) and he was treated very unfairly, thrown in prison every time he was about to do a press release and not allowed to see his wife.
@Lucretia Bailey He knew he was never going to get a fair trial
A job for the yakuza?
@David W😂😂😂😂😂 you sound like my girlfriend. Are you having a nervous breakdown? What’s wrong with you?
David W Racist’s are cowards, that’s why
@David W … I wouldn’t doubt they have a group of assassins.
No bone saws required, just razor sharp samurai swords.
Maurice Hachache Didn’t Israel solo Egypt, Syria, and Jordan and mop them up in 6 days with a 20:1 kill count?
Yeah, that happened. Where was Lebanon in that? Oh yeah, sitting at home like cowards watching their arab brothers get routed.
This wasn’t in the Manga
🔥
LOL 🤣🤣😭
Its Canon….
Yet…
Dude looks like a real life comic book villain.
Just look at those eyebrows, unreal.
@Maurice Hachache
LOL, I’m sure the kids can have a great time buying carrots and making snowmen… 😂
@Oh Lawd yup and the grown ups can remove it after it freezes and use it in any way they see fit.
@Maurice Hachache
That’s like with china and their debt traps. They bring lots of joy and happiness all over the world too… 😂
@Oh Lawd exactly, every major power loves giving happiness and joy to all countries of the world and the happiness most of the time comes in the shape of a bomb😂😂😂😂
@Maurice Hachache
Indeed. 😊👍
Send the ninjas!
行け！！！
He lier i think he now somewhere in africa but not in lebanon
Lebanese news outlets saying Carlos Ghosn was smuggled out of Japan in a box designed for transporting musical instruments, this story is incredible 😂😂😂
Even more incredible – Japan throws money at shifty characters. Good luck catching him now!
This plane?🤔

kansai airport company is French company
French passport possession in turkey
May be supported by 🇫🇷French government🤔
@Mind FreshenerCARLOS GOHSN SAVED NISSAN from being bankrupt…..And ordered the production of the GTR….I own a 2014 GTR and will keep it forever,for me ,the Car of the century…..Thanks Carlos.
@joe coquerre The Japanese make good sh|t with or without Carlos. The reason why they hire white collar criminals from the West is – it is considered a dishonorable to make employees redundant. You can’t just fire people. He was a glorified executioner.
By a Para-Military Seal Team under the command of LEBANON President MICHEL AOUN.

Tay-K

hehe
@William Matar i get that a lot too https://www.instagram.com/abdoualittlebit/
another story says he was smuggled out in a crate meant for musical instruments…shrug…
That’s the rumor in here (Lebanon) and if it’s true it’s funny as hell. Anyway he’s welcome home.
How to escape when you’re not in custody: Got a friend with a private plane? Or a friend with a boat that has enough range to make it to another country? Easy.
OldSlowGamer that’s how I would do it. Seems quite obvious.
Yet another example of how deeply flawed is our capacity to tell the difference between a good leader and a straight up criminal.
and most of all, with enough money to buy whatever or whoever you want.
carlitos is dirty AF!
He was caught in a Honda Accord
The irony..
“Elizabeth Keene, yeah, Raymond Reddington here and boy do I have a doozy of a Blacklister for you!”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Getting foreign passport isn’t that hard for the rich
Arnaud MULLER … why call him a nitwit?
Are you another stable genius
Maurice Hachache …. Wow! Are those the facts?
So good to have a fact based comment without the silly name calling.
Thank you.
Maurice Hachache He was born in Brazil.
He’s safe in Lebanon because it’s a shifty arab country full of shifty arabs so he fits right in.
Bacons Strip He’s safe in Lebanon because he also has a lebanese passport since he was born in brazil to lebanese parents , and Lebanon has no extradition treaties with japan. But it seems you have some hate issues that you should take care of
@Bacons Strip you should come lecture lebanese about their country why its “arab”
Carlos is literally gone
Carlos is Ghon. LOL! They kill me acting like they can’t figure out how a man as rich as him got out of the country. Deep pockets grease many palms.
I think Lebanon or France had something to do with it because not long ago our foreign minister (Lebanon) went there and visited him, and he’s quite liked in here, so he’s welcome.
And private planes.
Yeah and with those greasy palms they jack you off on the plane out of Japan.
Somebody big in Japan owed him a favour.
