In the fall of 2018, the chairman of the board of directors of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, Carlos Ghosn, who once initiated the return of the Renault factory team to Formula 1, was arrested in Japan on charges of serious financial irregularities . .
Nissan and Mitsubishi said Carlos Ghosn illegally received $8.9 million. Then Renault said that Ghosn financed his own wedding at Versailles at the expense of the company, then they found a violation for another 5 million, then another and another.
Ghosn maintained his innocence and was released on $9 million bail with a travel ban – and secretly fled to Lebanon. Ghosn was born in Brazil but grew up in Lebanon and is a citizen of that country, which has no extradition treaty with Japan. Ghosn later went to a French court to demand that Renault-Nissan pay him a pension of €765,000 a year, after which his tracks were lost.
This detective story became the material for the documentary series “Wanted: The Escape of Carlos Ghosn”, in the Russian version of “The Escape of Carlos Ghosn”, which became available today on Apple TV +, also with subtitles in Russian.
