Former Nissan Chairman-turned fugitive Carlos Ghosn, who escaped to Lebanon to avoid trial for financial crimes in Japan promised new revelations into the collusion between the carmaker, prosecutors and the government of Japan in a forthcoming book.

“Wait until I publish my book,” Ghosn said Friday in a live video conference from Beirut, where he has been living since last year.

“You will understand much more about the facts. We have a lot of people talking behind the scenes,” Ghosn added.

The Brazilian-born, French-educated son of Lebanese parents, was arrested in Tokyo on November 2018 for allegedly under-reporting earnings, breach of trust and misappropriation of company funds to the Japanese authorities for several years.

Ghosn escaped Japan and  fled to Lebanon, his childhood home, in December last year, while awaiting trial on bail, with the help of a former Green Beret.

Japan and Lebanon have no extradition agreement, and Lebanon does not typically hand over its nationals.

He has denied all indictments, under the beliefs that the charges against him were part of a conspiracy by Nissan to prevent further integration between carmakers Nissan Motor Co. and Renault SA.

Before he was released on bail, Ghosn was indicted four times, detained and subjected to solitary confinement where he was repeatedly interrogated for more than 130 days, all without own lawyer present.

The ex-auto executive reiterated his condemnation of Japan’s system of “hostage justice” on April 24, when he was speaking via video link at a conference named “Alternative Justice” that included a forum exposing the shortcomings in the country’s legal processes. Participants within the conference had defended the former executive’s stance.
