The story of Carlos Ghosn’s escape from Japan to Lebanon is fascinating and surely material for a future thriller film. Hard to believe this can happen today.

For those not familiar, Carlos Ghosn is a former auto executive from Renault and Nissan and was a very high profile man in the auto industry for decades. I’ve been aware of him for a long time a I follow that business. He was charged with fraud in Japan and was under strict house arrest in Japan under a $14 million bond.

A few days ago he showed up in Beirut, apparently via Turkey. Japan is furious and a lot of people will have a lot of explaining to do.
