Carlos Ghosn escaped Japan using 2nd French passport: AFP, NHK
The former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn reportedly used a second French passport during his high-stakes escape from Japan to Lebanon on Sunday.
Ghosn surrendered his four passports to authorities in November 2018 when he was arrested: one Brazilian, one Lebanese, and two French.
But prosecutors let Ghosn access one French passport in May to use internally in Japan, the AFP news agency and the Japanese public broadcaster, NHK, reported.
Ghosn was set to stand trial in Tokyo in April on charges of financial misconduct. He was accused of hiding $80 million in payments from Nissan.
