The Lebanese judiciary stopped the prosecution of the former auto industry tycoon, Carlos Ghosn, for the crime of visiting Israel, based on the lawsuit of 3 lawyers against him at the beginning of the year, following his arrival in Beirut after fleeing Japan.
Last January, attorneys Hassan Bazzi, Gad Tohme, and Ali Abbas charged Ghosn with “entering Israel, dealing with the Israeli enemy and establishing commercial relations with him,” on the background of his visit to Israel in 2008 in his capacity as director of the French Renault company to sign a partnership agreement with an Israeli car company. .A judicial source said, Tuesday, that “the discriminatory Attorney General, Judge Ghassan Oweidat, decided to save the papers and not prosecute Ghosn in the crimes attributed to him in terms of entering the enemy’s country and dealing with him economically, due to the passage of the decimal time after the crime,” meaning his fall after more than 10 years.
At a press conference in Beirut after his controversial escape from Japan, Ghosn defended his visit, which included a meeting with former Israeli President Shimon Peres and other officials.
He said he went as “French, based on an agreement between Renault and an Israeli company.”
And I apologize for the visit at the same time.
The former president of the Renault alliance, Nissan, Mitsubishi, has been in Beirut since the end of 2019, after fleeing Japan, where he was arrested in November 2018, and spent 130 days in prison.
The Japanese judiciary charged the businessman who holds Lebanese, French and Brazilian nationalities 4 charges, which include failing to disclose his entire income, using Nissan’s money that he saved from bankruptcy to make payments to personal acquaintances, and misappropriating company funds for personal use.
The total unauthorized amount is more than 9 billion yen, equivalent to $ 85 million over eight years, according to Tokyo, which Ghosn denies.
Japan demanded that Lebanon hand over Ghosn to complete his trial, but the authorities in Beirut asked Tokyo to provide it with his judicial file, and they have not yet received it.
Ghosn refuses to reveal the details of his extraordinary escape, which has caused widespread shock in Japan.
At the end of October, the United States agreed to extradite to Japan two Americans suspected of helping him escape.
Ghosn is participating in a documentary and a short series about his life, according to a statement last month by the Saudi MBC network and the French company Alif One, the two producers of the work.
