Former Nissan CEO Claims Brutal Treatment in Japan

VOA News

   Former Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn accused Japanese prosecutors of treating
   him "brutally" after his arrest in Japan and said officials with the
   government and the automaker colluded to force him out of his position.
   Ghosn's comments were made at a Wednesday news conference in Beirut,
   his first since he was arrested in November 2018, and his first public
   appearance since his daring escape last month from Japan.

   Felt like 'hostage'
   "You are going to die inJapanor you are going to have to get out," the
   65-year-old said. "I felt like the hostage of a country I served for 17
   years."
   Ghosn, who was scheduled to stand trial for alleged financial
   misconduct at Nissan, said the decision to flee Japan for his childhood
   home of Lebanon "was the most difficult decision of my life."
   But Ghosn said his escape, which embarrassed Japanese authorities and
   details of which he declined to disclose, was necessary to clear his
   name.
