https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2019/01/07/business/carlos-ghosn-tokyo-court-appearance/index.html Seriously, what the hell is wrong with the Japanese? This whole case is a black eye for their justice system. Trying to browbeat an executive into signing a bogus confession without a lawyer present. Sounds more like Venezuela than a developed economy.
The Japanese justice system could use some improvement. But not until they fuck over the man everyone agrees brought Nissan back from the dead.
It doesn't matter if he brought a car company back to life or if he cured cancer, if he committed the crime, he should do the time.
+1 Indian justice system is worse than this. I agree, USA for now, has one of the best and evolving justice system.
Japan has an ~99% conviction rate. I do not envy Ghosn.
OP, what does the economy have to do with the courts?
Contrary to popular belief America actually has one of the less shitty legal systems out there. Japan is the norm, not the exception.
