INSTEAD of a show trial in Tokyo, we got the Ghosn show in Beirut. Neither offered the chance of a satisfactory outcome.One of the most hotly anticipated press conferences in corporate history did not disappoint. Carlos Ghosn has lost none of his vim following his arrest, imprisonment and flight from Japan.
Speaking in multiple languages, and often visibly enjoying the occasion, he forcefully argued his case for why he is innocent of charges of undeclared income and misuse of corporate funds, and why his arrest in Japan was really part of a conspiracy to stop him from deepening the giant Renault-Nissan carmaking alliance. (Ghosn has been boss of both the French and Japanese companies.)
