“ Documentary series Storyville details his extraordinary rise and sudden fall in Carlos Ghosn: The Last Flight which will be shown on BBC 4 on Wednesday 14 July.”

^ Hoping this doc will make its way to American television.. maybe PBS/Frontline?

How come this fucker gets to not only brag about evading justice, in stead of being rightly vilified for it, but is even given a platform to brag from by the most prestigious of media corporations?!?

Why hasn't whatever country he's in -- Britain? -- clapped him in irons and extradited him the hell back to Japan? Are they even officially condoning criminals escaping justice as long as they're rich, these days? (Or is Ghosn giving interviews from some closet in the embassy of a third-world country where he's holed up, as seems traditional for fugitives on the lam in Britain nowadays?)

So, the justice system in Japan enforces additional restrictions after a person is out on bail ?

He couldn't meet his wife seems like an unreasonable condition for someone out on bail. Also, is the justice system in Japan so backed up that he would have to wait years for it go to trial ?

> Lebanon does not have an extradition treaty with Japan so Mr Ghosn has been allowed to remain there.

You clearly did not read the article and know nothing of the situation.

Carlos should have taken the GM role when Obama called him about it. He would've made a lot more money and not been in this situation.

If you ever thought the American justice system is bad, look into the Japanese one. The whole system is designed to make you confess and apologize. They will literally lie to you and tell you it will all go away if you sign the confession paperwork. You dont get a lawyer while they do this, and they get to keep you for quite a bit of time before you get a lawyer.

They also dont do trial by jury, but inquisitorial judges who you have to prove your innocence too. The judges their dont like you making them go to trial, so good luck proving your case, after all you should have confessed already.

Also Japanese conditions in their detention systems makes the American system look down right palatial. The whole system is designed to punish even moreso than the American system.
