In a statement on January 3rd ,2020 , the 65-year-old tycoon said he would ‘no longer be held hostage by a rigged Japanese justice system, where guilt is presumed, discrimination is rampant, and basic human rights are denied’ . On November 24, 2020, a panel of human rights experts working with the United Nations said that former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn was wrongly detained in Japan and has urged “compensation” for him from the Japanese government.

ISTANBUL A Turkish court convicted an executive of Turkish jet company MNG and two pilots for migrant smuggling over their role in flying former Nissan Motor Co Ltd Chairman Carlos Ghosn out of Japan during his escape to Lebanon just over a year ago.
Mr Saikawa, 67, was the most senior leader at Nissan after Mr Ghosn when he was detained, sending shock waves through the alliance and wider business world. That put the Japanese executive in a position to know many of the details behind the allegations against Mr Ghosn and Mr Kelly. With Mr Ghosn in exile, Mr Kelly’s trial is the only forum where those accusations will likely get a full legal airing.
Mr Saikawa, dressed in a black suit, told prosecutors that Mr Ghosn didn’t like compensation disclosure rules, and had expressed this to the board. The former chief executive also said he had agreed with Mr Kelly in 2011 that Mr Ghosn should be paid more to prevent him from going to a rival car maker, and that the executive should receive compensation for non-competition and consulting services after retirement.
