The following chapters will discuss his controversial arrest in 2018, and then the Hollywood-worthy escape from the Japanese legal system. If you have not heard by now, in December 2019, Ghosn hid inside a musical equipment box to board a plane to Lebanon, a country that does not expedite its citizens.
Fast forward to today, Ghosn retaliated by filing a $1 billion lawsuit against Nissan, along with 12 other individuals and two companies, for crimes such as defamation, slander, libel, and fabrication of material evidence. It seeks $588 million in lost remuneration and another $500 million in moral damage.
