The former senior Nissan executive Carlos Ghosn is still talked about. For the Japanese he is still a fugitive: ‘hidden’ in Lebanon and convinced of his innocence, while they accuse him of using company money for personal purposes, would like to rehabilitate and re-enter the automotive sector. It takes a lot of courage to do all this, knowing how he escaped from Osaka airport, terrified of the chance of extra scrutiny by security personnel.
“That was the most important decision of my lifeGhosn said, as reported by Automotive News. Now he wants to take revenge on the Japanese judicial system. After publishing a book called ‘Broken Alliances’, he plans to write a second book, works on documentaries and seminars, and above all dedicates body and soul to a never-before-seen legal defense. Evidently well paid, having been one of the most famous and wealthiest automotive executives on the planet.
“I’m still in the game. I am involved in the auto industry, I give conferences, I dedicate myself to consultancy. I follow what car manufacturers do, I have experienced certain experiences closelyGhosn said. On the Alliance between Renault and Nissan he continues to be obsessively critical, and claims that the knots will soon come to a head as according to his sources the two companies are not working together on anything. It remains to be seen who Ghosn might want, after all that has happened, as a senior executive in this or other areas., regardless of guilt or not. It would be difficult to justify, in terms of image, one of his assignments in the automotive world. And in some countries he would even be prevented: as in the United States, where he cannot be president or CEO until 2029.
Between Renault and Nissan, according to the latest statements by their respective management, no strategic merger is planned that could write a new chapter, in a relationship that has been stormy at times.
