The dirty secrets behind the Japanese corporate culture. Having first-hand experience of working in Japan, I am not one bit surprised.

not sure how you call that fair and square..
drawing analogy, the japanese can say their law is fair and transparent as well, just interpreted in their own internal ways...

Research how the Japanese handled Lucie Blackman's murder and tell me that was fair and transparent. They wouldn't have known their own heads had been chopped off if no one had told them.

Indeed, People who eat darkness is a shocking yet brilliant book on that case.

“I helped Carlos Ghosn escape Japan while he was on bail,” Michael Taylor said on Tuesday, his voice quavering. It was the first time he spoke at length in court. “I deeply regret my actions and sincerely apologize for causing difficulties for the judicial process and for the Japanese people.”

At a hearing two weeks ago, Michael and his son Peter agreed with assertions by prosecutors that they helped Ghosn escape the country at the end of 2019. They were extradited to Japan from the U.S. earlier this year and face a maximum of three years in prison on charges of harboring or enabling the escape of a criminal.

“After more than 400 days in jail, I have had a lot of time to reflect,” Peter Taylor said. Both stood and bowed deeply after making their statements.

The duo, dressed in dark suits and white shirts, arrived in handcuffs, flanked by guards. Michael Taylor was questioned by his attorney for about 18 minutes, followed by questioning by one of the prosecutors. He described how he came to learn that Ghosn wanted to escape, and that Ghosn’s cousin was his wife’s sister-in-law, who pressed him to help the former auto executive.
