TOKYO, Dec 31 (NNN-NHK) – Former Nissan Motor Chairman, Carlos Ghosn, may have fled Japan and arrived in Lebanon, in possible violation of his bail conditions, which restrict overseas travel, local media reported today.
One of the ex-auto tycoon’s bail conditions was that, he was prohibited from leaving Japan, after being released from detention.
The former Nissan chief was charged with aggravated breach of trust and violating the Financial Instruments and Exchange Act and is awaiting trial here.
A member of Ghosn’s defence team, said, he knows nothing about his possibly jumping bail, or reports that he is currently in Lebanon.
The lawyer said that, he will look into the matter and confirm if the reports from multiple foreign media outlets are true or not.
Japanese prosecutors, meanwhile, also said, they were unaware that Ghosn might be outside Japan and are currently looking into the situation.
