Well, I am no big fan of Gohsn, but judging from the way the Japanese justice system treats suspects, this system deserves to be mocked, rolled in tar and covered with feathers. Ghosn is not asking to escape judgement, he is asking for a fair trial. It’s now pretty obvious no such thing exists today in Japan. Maybe he is guilty, but I find it hard to blame him for escaping, irrespective of his wealth.

There was this AMA on reddit a couple months ago about someone writing about their experience in Japanese detention - https://www.reddit.com/r/japan/comments/cdqx4n/i_spent_20_da...
Given how inhumane it is, yeah, I think I would have tried to escape too

I would also love to be able to pick and choose where the trial for my crimes should be held...
