Japan-based automotive giant Nissan has made headlines in recent years with an interesting event. Carlos Ghosn, who was the CEO of the company for a while, decided to escape from Japan, where he was under house arrest, and did this through Turkey. The ex-CEO, who first came to Turkey on a private jet from Japan, went to Lebanon by plane, which had previously belonged to Reza Zarrab but was held by the TMSF at that time. Ghosn carried out the escape process in a box, which had a great impact.
Years have passed, but this event has not been forgotten. Carlos Ghosn even gave an interview to public broadcaster NHK in Japan. Explaining why he ran away and what he is doing now in this interview, the ex-CEO of Nissan said he was very happy. Carlos Ghosn announced that he made such a decision because he and his family were suffering in Japan.
“I realized that I can’t defend myself in Japan”
In an interview, Carlos Ghosn stated that he understood that he could not defend himself in Japan and stated that he decided to escape. “I realized that I cannot defend myself in a country with a 99.4 percent conviction rate,” said the former executive, adding that he decided to escape and embarked on such a task. According to Ghosn, the most critical parts of his escape journey were being transported in a box and learning that he was leaving Japan. Talking about the fact that the box he was in did not enter the x-ray device, Carlos Ghosn described this situation as luck.
“I am happy and busy, I keep the job I love, I am living my life. I am voluntarily teaching business strategies at the university, writing a book. I am proud to be Lebanese, and my people support me,” said the former Nissan CEO, who seems very pleased with his current situation.
