Mr. Ghosn entered Lebanon with a French passport and a Lebanese identification card, according to a person familiar with the matter. Officials in Beirut on Tuesday said he arrived in the country legally and authorities wouldn’t take any action against him.
Mr. Ghosn now faces the prospect of an extended stay in Lebanon, should Japan decide to pursue an international arrest warrant. Lebanon doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Japan.
Ghosn Ping
Amazing...I can’t image all the hard work and attention to detail that went into formulating his escape. All without any hint of it getting to the Japanese authorities. Wow. Well executed.
Ghosn ghosted on them.
He lammed, and they couldn’t him.
Lebanon?
He lambed!
If I use my private jet, can they sieze it?
It’d be interesting to find out whether Ghosn is actually guilty of the crimes he was charged with in Japan. It’s very difficult to believe that Japanese industry would try to frame Ghosn - as it is, the negative publicity is going to damage efforts to attract foreign executives. OTOH, those are very insular corporate cultures that might not appreciate decisions being made by an outsider trying to force mergers with non-Japanese corporations.
A couple of days ago ghosn gave a press conference with a spirited defense. It was broadcast live(?) on the bloomberg news channel.
