  • Nada arranged to have Ghosn's corporate email hacked, unbeknownst to key IT personnel or Nissan's CEO. This began months before Nada began working with prosecutors in a secret deal that afforded him immunity.
  • José Muñoz, a former Nissan exec and ally of Ghosn's, feared arrest — and refused to Tokyo when summoned — after being tipped off by the U.S. and Spanish ambassadors to Japan. Muñoz is now chief operating officer at Hyundai.
  • Top Nissan corporate counsel Ravinder Passi says he was retaliated against after raising complaints against Nada to Nissan's board. He says Nissan initiated a police raid of his home, which Bloomberg has on video.
  • Nada purged other executives deemed rivals or disloyal and apparently became quite unpopular. He was assigned a bodyguard, a car and driver, and was placed in a $12,000-a-month luxury apartment.
  • Nada's machinations at Nissan continued well after Ghosn was gone. He remains at Nissan in an advisory capacity and is scheduled to testify in January against former Nissan exec Greg Kelly, who was arrested along with Ghosn.
 
Thanks!

I was able to find this June 2020 article: https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2...porate-business/nissan-carlos-ghosn-takedown/

Carlos Ghosn always said he was set up.

Now there’s some evidence to support his claim. According to people familiar with what happened and previously unreported internal correspondence, the campaign by top Nissan Motor Co. executives to dethrone one of the most celebrated leaders in the automotive industry started almost a year before Ghosn’s arrest in late 2018 for alleged financial misconduct.

The effort was motivated in part by opposition to the former chairman’s push for greater integration between the Japanese carmaker and long-time alliance partner Renault SA, the new information reveals.

I remain a somewhat disengaged observer but at the time, I thought the effects of this effort would turn out badly for those who started it: https://www.goodcarbadcar.net/nissan-us-sales-figures/

This has got to sting.

Japan's detention of Carlos Ghosn for more than four months with limited access to legal counsel was arbitrary and violated the former automobile titan's human rights, a United Nations panel concluded in a rebuke of Japanese prosecutors involved in the case.

The report, which is nonbinding, called for Japan to pay reparations to Mr. Ghosn, and called on the Japanese government to conduct an investigation of the matter and "take appropriate measures against those responsible for the violation of [Mr. Ghosn's] rights."

It was inevitable, a six part TV series is in development from Oscar-winning director Alfonso Cuarón, featuring Tony Shalhoub as Carlos Ghosn.
Can hardly wait to see how this plays out on screen;)
