was achieved while the former Nissan chairman was under strict bail conditions and daily surveillance by police and prosecutors as he awaited trial to defend himself against charges of financial misconduct. Here are the key questions:When the full details finally emerge, Ghosn’s escape may rank as one of the great vanishing acts of all time.
One Lebanese media outlet reported that he left Japan hidden in some sort of container, possibly the case for a large musical instrument. The Lebanese newspaper Annahar reported that Ghosn entered the country with a French passport. The former industry heavyweight has Lebanese, French and Brazilian citizenship, though all his passports had been taken from him. Meanwhile, a report that Ghosn met with Lebanese President Michel Aoun was denied by an official at the presidency.
Some in Japan, meanwhile, have questioned just how enraged the Japanese prosecutors will be that their highest profile suspect for many years is now very unlikely to stand trial. In theory they will be furious that Ghosn humiliated them, say legal experts. But privately they may feel they have dodged a potentially greater blow to their pride from a trial that would have also put their conduct under intense and protracted global scrutiny.
He is not, according to this narrative, a fugitive from justice, but from an unjust system — language that seems calculated to secure him a quick rehabilitation in some circles. Could the once famous embodiment of “Davos Man” make a surprise return to the World Economic Forum in Switzerland next month?
His job prospects in the U.S., however, are already grim. In September, Ghosn agreed to pay $1 million to settle fraud charges with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission over allegations the former Nissan boss hid more than $140 million of his pay package. Ghosn neither admitted nor denied any of the charges made by the SEC, but the settlement bans him from senior positions in any U.S. company for a decade.
Ghosn also faces a separate trial for breach of trust charges. If he does not appear on the first day of trial, which was expected to be as early as April 2020, court proceedings are likely to be suspended.
Master cheat.
It really does sound like a thriller movie ! Impressive escape.
