Who wudda thunk it.........approved 1st world torture and nobody gives a damn.

What's good for the USA in North Africa seems to work elsewhere in the developed world.

Maybe it’s an American approved rendition process especially developed for non American business people.

One can’t be too cynical these days, sadly.

Good to see someone cares  -

Brazil, France, Lebanon and now a resident of Japan.  So he just needs to chill and enjoy the free accommodation for a while.

He must have earned enough air miles and they will not have seized all his assets so surely no worry on a few months living cheaply.

Other than friends and family missing him looks like the corporations will get on OK without him until he clears his name.

Japan’s ‘hostage’ justice system -

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-47113189

Prisoners on Death Row don't get given a date when they are to be executed. The first they know of it is when they are being led to the gallows. 

 

The person's family and lawyer usually only find out they have been executed after the sentence has been carried out

No extridition from Lebanon to Japan.  He us Lebanese but used his French passport back to his home.

 

Japanese "justice" moves glacial speed.  Institutional corporate business issues perpetuate and the issues with Mitsubishi Motors emissions and events such as Olympus Tobashi scheme are interesting reads if one follows such matters.

Is that correct?

Quote

The 65-year-old was born in Brazil to parents of Lebanese descent and was raised in Beirut, before travelling to France for further education. He holds French, Brazilian and Lebanese passports.

But his lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, told reporters in Tokyo on Tuesday that Mr Ghosn's legal team was still in possession of his passports.

One of the teretrail news channels, think it was ITV, reported he had used his French passport to enter The Lebanon.

 

Having spent years looking at passport for UK customs, Border Force and my own experience it is not difficult to get a valid passport and certainly not for a man of Goshn's wealth and influence.

A Lebanese security official told NHK that a person resembling Ghosn had entered the country under a different name, after arriving by private jet.

Japanese security services confirmed Carlos travelled to the airport dressed as Father Christmas and boarded the plane under the alias Ghost of Xmas Past.

On a more serious note, The Japanese security services will have questions to answer on how Carlos left the county while under surveillance with restricted phone and internet access. On the other hand I don't blame him as he didn't believe he would get a fair trial under the Japanese system.
