Reckless:

This will simply allow the prosecutor to further humiliate the gaijin shachou. This would never happen with a Japanese.

Of course it happens to Japanese executives as well. A very famous case was, not a long ago, about Takafumi Horie of Livedoor.

The wheels of "justice" only work in Japan due to confessions. Without a confession, the prosecutors are screwed. They have no idea what they are doing if they don't get a confession. If Ghosn sticks to his guns and doesn't confess, he'll likely be found innocent. One good thing to come out of this debacle, is that the rest of the world can see how inept and unfit the Japanese "justice" system is.

For some reason, I have a gut instinct that they are innocent. But I don't know.

"proof that she never intended to run away from anybody

Yeah right, that is why she ran to France. Macron sent her back to Tokyo after he said

Au revoir

people never learn do they, police or prosecutors never ever want whats best for you or your friends ... everything one might say to police will always be used against you. the only interview is to keep silent.

Yeah, if I were in her shoes, I might have stayed far away, but I have a guilty conscience...

 I am surprised she came back to Japan so quickly. Must be she really cares for her husband.

His lawyer said in a press conference that he convinced her to take the questioning.

I don’t understand why she is being interviewed in a court.

That's where she's going to spend a lot of her time over the next several months. Wouldn't be surprised if she's arrested and put in detention. I am surprised she came back to Japan so quickly. Must be she really cares for her husband.
