This an end to a farce that showcased the negative side of Japan.

Wrongful accusations, biased and racist authorities, a show trial that recalled the worst case of communism.

Ghosn had no chance to defend itself, neither against official statements that aimed to assassinate Ghosn, and he was deprived of any means to defend himself (while Saikawa was gathering some supportive evidence in a wordlwide investigation to smear him).

Mockery of justice, shame on Japan...

That is a double edge question:

Would you not buy a Nissan because the CEO allegedly misappropriated funds, or 2. would you not buy a Nissan because (to some other interpretation) Nissan used unfair political influence to oust the man governed it to the top of the world?

Or you don't care at all as you are buying a car from a dealership not a gift from a CEO.

I never bought any Nissan but I followed with interest the pre-ghosn thrive and the fall as well as the revival by Ghosn. I was tempted to by some Infiniti, but they never got up there with price and attributes. But I am looking with suspiscion and awe to what is going on around the Ghosn case. I do not like anything Saikawa accomplished, from the kipping over of Mitsubishi (that was whacked by Nissan just as much as was Ghosn now, but I also had hopes that Nissan's know how and capital would bring Mitsubishi to a better period).

I do wish that the Japanese would come to senses and bring back Ghosn to save Nissan., as it seems Nissan needs him again...
