Interesting....thanks for posting.

I’m sure they’ll enjoy being detained without a lawyer for 21 days x 3 appeals as well.

What a joke.

We live in a globalist world, with globalist government, globalist monetary policy and globalist politics.

there’s no where to run or hide.

[Leaning Right]

They probably got the idea from an old episode of “I Love Lucy”.

[ImJustAnotherOkie]

They got some splainin’ to do...

Very true grease the right palms and any government will hand you over

Ghosn was the best thing for Nissan, but the Japanese hated one of their big companies being run by a Frenchman.

[Cronos]

The case against Ghosn seems to me to be an anti-gaijin thing.

LOL

They have bigger balls than common sense.

But... you need folks like that when the world is falling apart. They just have to “somewhat” follow the rules in normal civil life.

Hi.

Immigration charges? He LEFT the country.

Maybe aiding escape and flight?

Maybe it was the translation?

“Emigration charges” would be more apt.

Japan has a bilateral extradition treaty with the US.

1. They should have shut up about the OP, no one should have ever known about the players or the play. Too much was shared, names, how, everything was done. That was stupid.
2. The Japanese were over reaching on their BS charges and will never admit they are wrong when they charge anyone.
3. These guys should lawyer up, and get the government to prove the crime. And delay delay delay. They will drop it.
4. A SF guy in prison is going to be fine. The Japanese suck. They can kiss everyone’s a$$ on their bunk charges.

[taxcontrol]

I always hated that part “... who jump and die”

Should be changed to something more aggressive. Maybe “....who jump and fight”

just me nitpicking.

[GnuThere]

Oops.
Guess they should have disappeared into Lebanon for awhile.

This and the clown show Ex-Green Beret coup in Venezuela and it seems Ex-Green Berets are having a bad year.

While I believe this was a key factor, it’s not clear to me that, from a reliability perspective, Ghosn was the best thing for Nissan. From neck-and-neck with Toyota, Nissan is now on par with Mitsubishi as one of the worst Japanese brands. The two big Japanese marquee names are now Honda and Toyota.

Visitors leaving Japan must pay 1,000 yen per departure.

Payment has to be made in Yen.
