Ex-Nissan Chief's Wife To BEG French Government To Help Her Husband, Carlos Ghosn

The wife of former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn has left Japan and flown to Paris to appeal to the French government to do more to help him.

Japanese prosecutors arrested Ghosn for a fourth time on Thursday on suspicion he had tried to enrich himself at the automaker’s expense, in another dramatic twist that his lawyers said was an attempt to muzzle him.

“I think the French government should do more for him. I don’t think he’s had enough support and he’s calling for assistance. As a French citizen, it should be a right,” Carole Ghosn told the Financial Times in an interview before boarding a flight out of Japan late on Friday...

How was this slime ball CRIMINAL permitted to leave Japan? Did he not have to surrender his passport as a condition of his bail?

He hasn't left Japan. She is trying to find leverage with French government to put pressure on Japanese, good luck with that Mrs Ghosn.

He was a hero in Japan for rescuing Nissan. He must have done something very bad to have them go after him in this fashion. Let him face justice.

I think he is charged with stealing Nissan's money (in Japan), hence his arrest and imprisonment in Japan.

This has nothing to do with France, other than his wife's attempts to get him branded a political prisoner of sorts. Let's see how that works out.

Being held 22 days without a charge is a nice touch. Being interrogated without your attorney present is also a special twist on the law in Japan. I'll pass on visiting. I don't need to see Mount Fuji or the old feudal palaces. National Geographic channel will do.

You can should all over it with faux moral indignation, but that is the law of the land and bitching about it does not do any good.

You are one to talk !
Your country has arrested a Huawei Excutive for no reason other than to be a lapdog, bending to the U.S.

@mpls - The Huawei executive was arrested at the request of the US Justice Department because she and the firm have serious charges lodged against them. We have an formal extradition treaty with the USA where it comes to criminals and are obliged to follow it when someone the USA Justice Department wants to prosecute is found in Canada.

Besides there are constitutional rights and principles in play, presumption of innocence, right to an attorney, to remain silent, separation of the prosecution from the judiciary, trial by jury of peers, etc that have not been the case here. It is a total shame.
