The mystery of Carlos Ghosn's audacious escape out of Japan Japanese authorities have raided the house where fugitive auto executive Carlos Ghosn was staying before he arranged his escape to Lebanon earlier this week, possibly via Turkey. The former chairman of Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors, and former chairman and CEO of their alliance partner, Renault — had been awaiting trial in Japan on charges of financial wrongdoing, including allegations that he understated his income for years and funneled $5 million of Nissan's to a car dealership he controlled. He was ousted from his posts at Nissan (NSANF) and Mitsubishi Motors following his arrest in Nov 20/18, and later resigned from Renault (RNLSY). As a condition of being released on bail, Ghosn was required to stay in Japan. But his case was completely upended earlier this week after Ghosn revealed that he had fled Japan for Lebanon to escape what he called a "rigged" justice system. Lebanon had received a "red notice" from Interpol (International Criminal Police Organization 國際刑事警察組織) confirming that the former auto titan is wanted by police. It is still not clear how Ghosn, is a citizen of France, Brazil and Lebanon, was able to slip of Japan. Reuters and the Financial Times have reported that he was smuggled of Tokyo by a private security company -— a plot that the media organizations say took months to concoct. The governor of Istanbul said in a statement on Jan 2, 20/20 that Turkish police have detained 7 people in connection with an investigation into Ghosn's "illegal escape" from Japan. Anadolu news agency said that Ghosn traveled via the city's Ataturk airport. Police detained 4 pilots of a private airline, a company manager and 2 ground staff at the request of the Istanbul prosecutor, according to the statement from the governor's office. Flight tracker Flightradar24 showed a private jet flying from Osaka, Japan, to Istanbul and then another continuing to Lebanon at the time Ghosn arrived in Lebanon. In a daring escape that reportedly involved him being smuggled in a musical instrument case (cello). According what I have read from multiple news since he escaped Japan, Mr. Ghosn invited several musical people to his residence to pl*y music for him during Christmas. Due to he couldn't leave his house to the concert, he was allowed to have musical band to pl*y musical instrument at his house to celebrate Christmas. However, one of the cello case was empty so that Mr. Ghosn could hide inside a cello case and smuggled o*t of his house. The Japanese security people didn't check the cello case before or after the music performance.  Honesty is the best policy. |

Carlos Ghosn, born on March 9, 19/54, is a Brazilian-born French businessman of Lebanese ancestry. Ghosn has served as the CEO of Michelin North America, chairman and CEO of Renault, chairman of AvtoVAZ, chairman and CEO of Nissan, and chairman of Mitsubishi Motors. Ghosn was also chairman and CEO of the Renault–Nissan–Mitsubishi Alliance, a strategic partnership among those automotive manufacturers through a complex cross-shareholding agreement. The venture has held an approximately 10% market share since 20/10, and as of 20/17 was reckoned to be the largest automobile group worldwide. In 19/96, Renault's CEO Louis Schweitzer hired Ghosn as his deputy and charged him with the task of turning the company around from near bankruptcy. Ghosn elaborated a plan to cut costs for the period 19/98–20/00, reducing the workforce, revising production processes, standardising vehicle parts and pushing the launch of new models. The company also undertook organisational changes, introducing a lean production system with delegate responsibilities inspired by Japanese systems (the "Renault Production Way"), reforming work methods and centralising research and development at its Technocentre to reduce vehicle conception costs while accelerating such conception. Ghosn became known as "Le Cost Killer". In the early 20/00s, for orchestrating one of the auto industry's most aggressive downsizing campaigns and spearheading the turnaround of Nissan from its near bankruptcy in 19/99, he earned the nickname "Mr. Fix It". Following the Nissan financial turnaround, in 20/02 Fortune awarded him Asia Businessman of the Year. In 20/03 Fortune identified him as one of the 10 most powerful people in business outside the U.S., and its Asian edition voted him Man of the Year. Surveys jointly published by the Financial Times and PricewaterhouseCoopers named him the fourth most respected business leader in 2003, and the third most respected business leader in 20/04 and in 20/05. He quickly achieved celebrity status in Japan and in the business world, and his life has been chronicled in Japanese comics. Ghosn stepped down as CEO of Nissan on 1 April 20/17, while remaining chairman of the company. He was arrested at Haneda Airport on 19 Nov 20/18, on allegations of under-reporting his earnings and misuse of company assets. On 22 Nov 20/18, Nissan's board made a unanimous decision to dismiss Ghosn as Nissan's chairman. It was followed by Mitsubishi Motors' board on 26 Nov 20/18. Renault and the French government continued to support him at first, presuming him innocent until proven guilty. However, they ultimately found the situation untenable and Ghosn was made to retire as chairman and CEO of Renault on 24 January 20/19. While out on bail granted in early March, Ghosn was re-arrested in Tokyo on 4 April 20/19 over new charges of misappropriations of Nissan funds. On 8 April 20/19 Nissan shareholders voted to oust Ghosn from the company's board. He was released again on bail on 25 April. In June Renault uncovered 11 million euros in questionable expenses by him, leading to a French investigation and raids. Ghosn later fled from Japan to Lebanon on 30 Dec, breaking his bail conditions. On January 2, 20/20, Interpol issued a red notice to Lebanon seeking Ghosn's arrest. The lawyer of former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn said that his client's decision to flee Japan as he awaited a criminal trial was "unforgivable" but can understand why he would resort to escape. Ghosn's escape out of Japan has embarrassed Japanese government "airport security system". Honesty is the best policy.
