We have an amazing story and interviews for you today ...
Lebanese American Carlos Ghosn was a celebrated businessman who radically restructured the Renault automobile company when he was hired there in 1996 and it increased the company's profits dramatically the following year.
Several years later, Renault and Nissan formed an alliance that Ghosn oversaw and he joined Nissan as its COO in 1999, becoming president in 2000 and then CEO in 2001. He was only the 4th non-Japanese person to head a Japanese automaker.
The world was awed by Ghosn's successful and rapid rise in the auto industry.
But in 2018, things quickly changed when he was arrested by Tokyo Police and accused of engaging in "false accounting" practices. He was also accused and later charged by the Government of France in April 22 for his role in overseeing Renault, a dramatic fall from grace across the board.
Ghosn was arrested, released and then re-arrested several times, and placed under house arrest, until after posting bond was released on bail in 2019. His fate in Japan seemed certain and ominous until a former GREEN BERRETT Michael Taylor stepped in
On December 29, 2019, Ghosn left his Tokyo apartment and was secretly escorted out of the country in a large crate by my Taylor, a former Green Berrett whose wife was related to Ghosn. It was an amazing escape that angered Japanese and French Officials.
Taylor and his son Peter were later arrested in May 2020 in Massachusetts and then extradicted to Japan in March 2021. His son was eventually released after serving time and Michael Taylor was released on January 1, 2023.
