I saw an in-depth, ninety minute documentary about Carlos Ghosn, his rise to prominence and the Nissan affair. I have to say, it reflects very poorly on Japan that people would conspire to destroy an innocent man and his family—especially after he turned around that company while keeping it very much separate and distinctively Japanese—just so they could reduce French influence. Without Carlos Ghosn, Nissan may not even exist now. And how come the Japanese prosecutor has a 99.4% conviction rate? What’s all that about? The sad thing is, that American guy who was also arrested is still living in purgatory waiting for his trial. The severe restrictions on him and his wife mean they don’t have much of a life.
[Well I think he’s innocent, but what do I know?]
