Dunno what to make of this. The nerve in that SOB.
Ghosn, in Lebanon, says he left Japan to avoid 'injustice and political persecution'
In my very own opinion about this, that's a prime example of a scumbag using money to bribe his way out. Worse, it looks like the Japanese chose to let the bastard flee the country rather than drag everything in front of a court of law that would have taken down dozens of Japanese Nissan executives and probably a number of government officials. If that is the case, it would be extremely discouraging to think that Japanese laws don't do a better job at taking crooks into the slammer.
And seriously, who cares about ramifications of a full-fledged trial? If heads have to roll, so be it. Other rival car companies in Japan can always feed off the carcass of Nissan if that's the hypothetical outcome of a trial. If a government has to fall because of a scandal, so be it. Nothing than stirring up shit once in a while to force deep changes.
