I recently watched an interview of Carlos Ghosn, by the CNBC TV channel that was filmed from his Beirut hideout. I never was a fan of the Brazilian born car maverick, but that show moved the needle toward a better appreciation of who he is.
The current warrant against him by the French government was the first topic covered, about which Ghosn said that currently, the Lebanese government was holding his passport, preventing him from going there.
He questioned the reasons behind that warrant suspecting some presidential elections maneuvering (he and Macron don’t particularly get along), said that he was willing to face the French justice system and would prevail.
He talked about the Japanese legal system, stressed that the UN had voiced an unequivocal support against his detention, and once more claimed his total innocence on all counts. He also made some interesting comments about the car industry and Tesla that I thought were totally relevant.
Sure, Ghosn is a born salesman, storyteller and BS artist overflowing with larceny, but I found some irresistible charm in his character and his French accented account peppered with some good French expression to underscore his unique show…
