Carlos Ghosn. Escape in the Case of the Renault - Nissan - Mitsubishi Alliance. A Trap

Almost twenty years ago, Japan made him a hero. Carlos Ghosn - the one who revived Nissan. A feat that led to a cult of personality and demanded too much generosity. A staggering salary, residences, luxurious furniture, celebrations, and receptions at the Palace of Versailles - the Japanese group paid for everything for their boss. Ghosn embodied globalization like no one else and wanted to make the Renault - Nissan alliance number one in the world, disregarding the tensions that undermined it. The former CEO, betrayed by some of his most trusted people, had to fight against an extremely tough Japanese justice system. His downfall plunged Renault into chaos and confronted the French state, a shareholder in the group, with its own contradictions. A confrontation began between Paris and Tokyo. But Ghosn was not going to give up or spend years of his life in prison. On December 30, 2019, he was secretly smuggled out of Japan in a box for sound equipment and sent through Istanbul to Lebanon. An escape worthy of a Hollywood movie! In their investigation in the form of a political and industrial thriller, French journalists Bertille Bayart and Emmanuel Egloff provide a captivating analysis of the Ghosn case.
