Switzerland’s Julius Baer among banks linked to Carlos Ghosn, report says
BLOOMBERG
JAN 7, 2020ZURICH/GENEVA –
Carlos Ghosn
has banked with Switzerland’s Julius Baer Group Ltd. for years and the private lender must make a decision on whether to report the link to authorities, according to Inside Paradeplatz.
The fugitive former Nissan Motor Co. boss
was persuaded to become a client of Julius Baer by then-Chief Executive Officer Boris Collardi, the Swiss banking blog reported Monday without citing sources or when the relationship started. A spokesman for Zurich-based Julius Baer declined comment “on alleged or existing client relationships.”
The extent and whereabouts of Ghosn’s finances
have become a key piece of the puzzle of how he managed to flee Japan last week in a carefully orchestrated escape that may have cost millions of dollars to arrange.
He forfeited about $15 million in bail by departing the country and traveled by private jet to Lebanon, where he has citizenship.
Interpol has since issued a Red Notice requesting his arrest, according to Justice Minister Masako Mori.
