the Former head of the strategic Alliance Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Carlos Ghosn fled from Japan to Lebanon, accusing the Japanese court in discrimination and violation of human rights. Gon was arrested on charges of tax evasion just over a year ago, and later he was sent under house arrest.
"I won't be held hostage in a fraudulent judicial system where the presumption of guilt, widespread discrimination, and basic human rights are rejected," - commented on his departure gon.
According to him, he did not flee from justice, and wanted to avoid political persecution.
Monday Ghosn arrived in Beirut on a private plane from Istanbul, said Reuters people familiar with the matter.
Ghosn LD was first arrested in Tokyo in November 2018, shortly after his private plane landed at the airport. He faced four charges, including tax evasion and illegal enrichment at the expense of payments to dealers in the middle East.
Nissan immediately fired him from the post of President, saying that an internal investigation revealed "certain offenses."
This case is presented in a negative light with the criminal justice system of Japan, which allows to detain suspects for lengthy periods, and prohibits defenders present during questioning that can last eight hours a day.
Ghosn LD was originally released in March on bail of $ 9 million, but was arrested on the new charge after a few weeks, and then released on bail in late April.
Ghosn LD began his career in 1978 at tire manufacturer Michelin. In 1996 he moved to Renault, where he made a reform that has earned him the nickname "Le Cost Killer".
After Renault formed an Alliance with Nissan in 1999, Ghosn LD used similar methods for the revival were in the decline of the brand that led him to the superstar status of business in Japan, the wide media coverage and even a comic book about his life.
