Carlos Ghosn blames Nissan conspiracy and Japanese prosecutors in press conference – watch live

The former Nissan-Renault chair Carlos Ghosn likened his arrest by Japanese prosecutors to Pearl Harbor as he spoke publicly for the first time since his audacious escape from the country. In an animated and lengthy press conference in Beirut, Ghosn blamed an elaborate conspiracy involving Nissan executives and Japanese prosecutors for his prosecution on charges of financial misconduct.

35:26 "I want to see my wife! ... I mean, the judge was surprised [that] I want to see my wife!
Maybe for for a lot of ppl it's not a punishment not to see their wife, but for me it was!"

Great punchline! Even if he was being sincere and didn't mea for it to be funny. What a guy!

Reporter: Ghosn how many languages can you speak?

Ghosn: yes

[karanaggarwal]

Am I the only one who feels his actions were fair considering the situation he was in (if truthful)? Everybody should have access to fair trial.

[osarusun]

Thanks for loving Japan and Japanese.
Justice in Japan is rotten.

[imyeg]

Hope this guy gets justice. Clearly a rigged system in Japan.

[Ruuzu]

He is now a game in Japan😂
“Ghone is gone”

[snowcountry]

Tax and other accusations were just excuses... there were other reasons. Glad he escaped.

After listening to Carlos Ghosn, could the Japanese prosecutors be bribed by Nissan? Saikawa has resigned from Nissan because of the same charge that they put on Carlos Ghosn. Why was not Saikawa arrested?

It's amazing how he can speak 4 major languages fluently.. English, Arabic, French Portuguese ..

[farmertv]

He is the guru that I am looking. I wanted to study from him.

[taijitu]

His French is better than his English and his English is excellent and I want whatever he wants in Arabic.

[rayankabbash]

He should be the president of Lebanon he can save the country

[MullahSteinberg]

I need a Lebanese passport ...how much

[junacebedo]

Paraphrasing Carlos: " Many husbands are happy not to see their wives. Not me." Laughter from reporters

[puenteUSAcom]

How can I reach and talk to Carlos Ghosn?

[gamerbuzz]

THIS GUY SHOULD STAND FOR FRANCE OR LEBANON 🇱🇧 OR BRAZIL 🇧🇷 PRESIDENT. JAPAN 🇯🇵 LOST AN AMAZING CEO WHO SAVED NISSAN

[taijitu]

I think he should run for president of a republic or a prime minister of a...of the rest.

[Salvisol]

I dont think he really wants to have a trial outside of Japan. Lol. He's just bsing.

He had never lived in the Netherlands as his main residence between 2012 and 2018.

In order to avoid French tax, he registered it in the Netherlands.

On the other hand, as a "costcutter" he layed off thouthands of both Renault and Nissan blue-collar workers after making sure his money laundering technique had successfully been completed.

Being rich(his estimated
assets €350 million), he can get away with anything.
