Full Interview: Former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn | CNBC International
Former Renault-Nissan executive Carlos Ghosn speaks to CNBC’s Hadley Gamble in Beirut after French authorities issued an international arrest warrant. Renault provided a statement to CNBC after Ghosn's comments, saying the warrant marked a significant step in the case "explained by the seriousness of the facts that have come to light after thorough and meticulous investigations."

Superb interview. Learned about car industry, Lebanon and leadership qualities. It was like a mini masterclass.
We can see a person's character from the way he speaks, his expressions, his body language, etc. Go, Carlos! Prove to the world of your innocent and regain your reputation, which to some people is more valuable than life!
Very smart man. Never got a chance to actually meet him when I worked at Nissan, but saw him many times when he came to visit.

Great interview, I'm with you Mr. Ghosn!!, by the way, beautiful interviewer!!
So glad to see that Carlos Ghosn is able to still get his message out to share with the world. What happened to him was a crime. Only a man as smart and as shrewd as Ghosn could've orchestrated his escape from unjust persecution by the Japanese. Carlos - cheers to you! You accomplished so much and I for one am so glad that you are able to live a good life in Lebanon!

It’s a difficult conjecture for me. I loved Ghosn for actively supporting and bringing out the GTR. I despised Ghosn for cutting costs for volume cars and making them cheaper built(especially those unreliable CVTs) I loved Ghosn for keeping the leaf project alive(The only better option then). G-Wiz was so unsafe! I despised Ghosn for merging Renault-Nissan with Mitsubishi. Looking back. All the things I loved above have lost money for the alliance. While all the things I despised have kept the companies afloat. Hell, even profitable. We have all seen CEOs do a lot worse and get away with it. Question though is… Let’s say Ghosn did underreport his compensation and that he did buy/use company property and resources for his personal benefit. Does the above outweigh all the things he has done to keep the alliance profitable and stock holders happy? I definitely DO NOT think so…. This is just an Automotive Engineer venting out his frustrations. All opinions are my own and do not reflect the views of the organization(s) I work for.

I haven't read all the comments below. But, I really think that Ghosn-san's decisions and actions were right! It was really good for him and I could say that it was the only way for him to survive from the situation no matter any other people say because I am 100% sure that people who complain about his actions don't understand the real Japan which is nearly invisible from most people including many Japaneses and most foreigners. Needless to say, there are no fair judgements in Japan, and I guess he could have mental disorder if he didn't escape from Japan though I have no idea what was happened to him if he was not a famouse person. I am a Japanese and I have been worked in various global companies in Japan standing between Japan and other countries after I lived in US for 10 years. So, I could tell how much Japan is weired and different from other countries and a terrible country. I can tell that Japan is the furtherst country from the global world ,in short. On the other hand, I understand that there are many chances for foreigners to start or run businesses in Japan. But, I really recommend to make sure they have some ways to leave immediately from Japan if something goes wrong or some mothods to be able to get good supports to get out of troubles in Japan. I really hope that Ghosn-san will get the fair justice soon, and I really hope that he will run some businesses or work in some companies because I could tell that he is very smart person and has all necessary skills as management though I don't know his personality. On the other hand, I am very sorry that not only Ghosn-san but also many smart and skillful people are leaving and left from Japan. I hope I could work outside of Japan in the near future.

Ghosn was hailed as a hero in Japan, until Japanese media did their best to destroy his reputation with comical depictions of him being the thief of thieves. Totally unfounded charges levied on this innocent man who raised the global car industry from the brink, and reinvigorated Nissan, Mitsubishi, Renault, and other big companies worldwide. He is an innovator, like Nikolas Tesla, and Galileo. Imagine what he would have done with electric cars had companies not colluded to keep the status quo. They also raided his overseas home in Lebanon without permission of him, or the Lebanese government. There was heat because he brought an unorthodox way of innovation, a way that was more international-minded, and not isolationist, not Japanese. Companies all over Japan are struggling, it took one internationally minded man to achieve financial success, hint, hint.
Ms Hadley Gamble, most probably, could do a great movie actress. Speaking on the topic, Carlos Ghosn, no matter how personally greedy he is, he is the one who saved Nissan 20 + years ago. I've lived in Japan from 1998 for about 20 years and have been seeing this development from inside. And comments about Japanese justice system are mostly true. Once you are deteriorating from category of "obedient", then punishments could be really stiff.
