From the aphasia of Ichiro Hironaka, the chief lawyer, "Why are you doing this to us", to the excitement of Ghosn's family that "he has gone home", and to the strong announcement by Machinok, Lebanon's interior minister that "a Lebanese phoenix will not be scorched by the Japanese sun", all of them are sending a signal: Ghosn has created a new legend.
Ghosn's escape has become a fact, but the process is intriguing. Who helped Ghosn? Is the cello box a hammer? Is Ghosn really all right after he escaped?
How did Ghosn "get out of the shell"?
There are three important keywords in Ghosn's escape route, namely French passport, private jet and musical instrument box.
According to the report of Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on June 65438+1 October1,on the evening of February 29th, 20 19, a private plane flying to Istanbul, Turkey left Japan at Kansai Airport. Earlier, the French media also reported that Ghosn arrived in Turkey and then transferred to Lebanon after leaving Japan.
However, Kansai Airport said? Ghosn's name was not among the passengers who left the country by plane that day.
The Lebanese side said that Ghosn used his French passport when he entered the country. Therefore, the Japanese police believe that Ghosn left the country as a forged identity and was suspected of violating the Entry and Exit Administration Law.
As for how Ghosn came to Kansai Airport, Japanese colleagues learned about it after interviewing friends around Ghosn. Ghosn was hidden in a musical instrument box. The musical instrument box is carried by Ghosn's assistant to the truck prepared in advance. Then, the truck drove all the way from Ghosn's residence in Tokyo to Kansai Airport.
Earlier, Lebanese media reported that Ghosn's wife Carol was in charge of the matter. A group of mercenaries disguised as musicians were sent to Japan to "save" Ghosn; And the French media said, Carol is here? With the help of her brother's relationship with him in Turkey, she organized this mysterious escape.
Although Ghosn denied that his escape was related to his wife, Reuters quoted a source as saying that Ghosn's "decision to abandon bail and escape" was indeed related to Carol-the source said that "the Japanese judicial department postponed the trial of Ghosn's case" and "strictly restricted Ghosn's contact with his wife", which stimulated the former chairman of Nissan Motor Company to make up his mind to flee Tokyo.
A meeting
Marry a wife like Carol (Carol? Ghosn). This is a mockery of Ghosn's wife Carol, another key figure in Ghosn's escape. It is not difficult to see from this ridicule that Carol played a vital role in this prison break that was talked about by the global media. Some analysts believe that Carol is the "soul figure" of this well-planned prison break.
According to The New York Times, Ghosn had a conversation with his wife Carol on February 24th, 20 19, which lasted about 1 hour. At present, the content of the conversation is unknown. However, it is widely believed in the industry that this conversation is the key to Ghosn's successful escape.
It is understood that on March 6, 2009, Ghosn was released on bail for 654.38 billion yen (about 60 million yuan); On April 4 of the same year, Ghosn was arrested again and accepted pre-trial detention. Subsequently, on April 25, the Tokyo District Court approved Ghosn's application for bail again, and the bail was 500 million yen (about 30 million yuan). The Tokyo District Court stated that during the bail period, Ghosn's actions and correspondence and contact with his wife were strictly monitored and restricted to prevent him from escaping or destroying evidence.
According to the bail regulations, Ghosn handed over his French, Brazilian and Lebanese passports. During his bail, Ghosn was imposed the following conditions: he must live in Tokyo; Can't travel abroad; Passport must be returned to his lawyer; You need court permission to travel for more than two nights; A surveillance camera must be installed at the door of his residence; Internet access and e-mail are prohibited; You can only use personal computers without internet access in your lawyer's office; It is forbidden to communicate with the parties to the case; You need the permission of the court to attend the Nissan board meeting; It is forbidden to contact Nissan Motor Manager.
"There is no sign that Ghosn is ready to escape." Ichiro Hironaka said, "Everything shows that Ghosn has been preparing to appear in court to defend himself." According to Ichiro Hironaka, the Tokyo District Court has not allowed Ghosn to communicate with his wife for several months. Since Ghosn was arrested again in April 20 19, they have only spoken twice. Perhaps it was the dialogue on Christmas Eve that led to this prison break that shocked the world.
destination
Ghosn, whose ancestral home is Lebanon, is called "the son of Lebanon". In Lebanon, Ghosn is regarded as a national hero. Because of this, it is logical for Ghosn to choose to return to Lebanon. Most importantly, there is no extradition treaty between Lebanon and Japan, which means Ghosn will never be extradited to Japan for trial.
According to the Japanese Criminal Procedure Law, if the defendant violates the bail conditions, the bail measures will be cancelled and the bail bond will be confiscated. Since there is no extradition treaty between Lebanon and Japan, it will be difficult for the Japanese judicial system to continue to deal with Ghosn's defendant case unless Ghosn voluntarily returns to Japan.
After Ghosn fled, the Japanese prosecutor announced the confiscation of Ghosn's previous bail of 654.38+05 billion yen (about 97 million yuan). At the same time, the Tokyo District Court said in a statement issued in official website that the bail conditions that prohibited Ghosn from leaving the country had "not been adjusted" and that it would cooperate with Lebanese authorities in judicial affairs so that Ghosn could return to Japan for trial as soon as possible.
"Ghosn's return to Japan is almost impossible. Back in Lebanon, Ghosn gained personal safety and freedom, and it can be said that everything is fine. " Zhong Shi, an auto industry analyst, told the National Business Daily that the absence of extradition treaty is a hard condition, and even if the Japanese prosecutor makes a request, the Lebanese side can refuse it for various reasons.
It is worth mentioning that the Lebanese government has always respected Ghosn as a "business giant" for many years. In 20 17, Lebanon issued a stamp with Ghosn's head. Some Lebanese people even hope that Ghosn can run for president. Ghosn once said in his hometown speech that the Lebanese government can learn from his case of restructuring Nissan's debt.
After Ghosn 20 18 was arrested, the Lebanese Foreign Ministry publicly stated: "Ghosn is a famous Lebanese citizen, and he represents Lebanon's success story overseas. In this severe test, the Lebanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs will stand by him and ensure that he gets a fair trial. "
20 18 12, a Lebanese advertiser put up a 18 billboard in Beirut, the capital, with the slogan "We are all Ghosn" written on it to show support.
A secret to be revealed.
"Next, Ghosn will fight for his reputation." Zhong Shi said that as a legend in business, the most important thing for Ghosn at this stage is his reputation and credibility. Ghosn will not be satisfied if the charges against him are not clarified.
It is understood that Ghosn will hold a press conference in Lebanon on June 8, 65438/KLOC-0. "I will no longer be a hostage in the manipulated Japanese judicial system, in which there is presumption of guilt, rampant discrimination, denial of basic human rights, and blatant disregard for Japan's legal obligations and treaties defending international law." Ghosn said in a statement, "I didn't escape justice, I escaped injustice and persecution. I am finally free to communicate with the media now, and I am looking forward to the start of next week. "
According to the announcement issued by Nissan Motor Company after Ghosn's arrest, Ghosn's violations include omitting the amount of remuneration in the securities report, using the investment funds for private purposes and using the funds for private purposes. The Tokyo District Court held that Ghosn had seriously violated the trust during his tenure as chairman of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., and he also faced three other charges, such as falsely reporting income and transferring personal property losses to Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., but Ghosn denied the four charges raised by the Japanese prosecutor.
"I am innocent. I deny all the charges against me by the prosecution. I also deny all criticisms and prejudices about' dictatorship'. " In the video released by Ghosn through his lawyer, Ghosn said, "The whole incident was a conspiracy, and several senior officials stabbed him in the back for their own interests and fears."
"Now Ghosn's position in Nissan, Renault and other car companies has been lifted, and Ghosn's escape has nothing to do with car companies." Zhong Shi believes that the Ghosn incident will have an impact on non-Japanese executives who will work in Japan in the future, and it is likely to become a typical case.
According to NHK, due to the Ghosn incident, Japanese market regulators may recommend that Nissan be fined about 2.4 billion yen (about 22 million US dollars) because it made false statements in its financial statements, which had a significant impact on investors' decisions.
As of the close of 2019 65438+February 3 1, the share price of NSANY automobile co., ltd rose by 0.22% to close at 1 1.56 USD/share.
