REUTERS/Issei Kato - RC17F8879770/File Photo TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese authorities allowed ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn to carry a spare French passport in a locked case while out on bail, public broadcaster NHK said on Thursday, shedding some light on how he managed a dramatic escape to Lebanon. Prosecutors on Thursday raided the Tokyo residence of the former Nissan Motor Co Ltd (7201.T) chairman, NHK also reported. Ghosn, one of the world’s best-known executives, has become Japan’s most famous fugitive after he revealed on Tuesday he had fled to Lebanon to escape what he called a “rigged” justice system. The businessman, who holds French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship, was smuggled out of Tokyo by a private security company days ago, the culmination of a plan that was crafted over three months, Reuters has reported. Ghosn was first arrested in Tokyo in November 2018 and faces four charges - which he denies - including hiding income and enriching himself through payments to car dealerships in the Middle East. He enjoyed an outpouring of support from Lebanon after his arrest. Japanese authorities have not officially commented on Ghosn’s disappearance. Government offices are shut this week for the New Year holiday. Officials in Lebanon said Ghosn entered legally on a French passport. But one of Ghosn’s Japanese lawyers has said the lawyers were still in possession of all three of his passports, under the terms of his bail. However, Ghosn had been issued a spare French passport, NHK said, citing unidentified sources, and carried it in the months before his departure. NHK, citing the sources, said he had been “obliged” to carry the passport with him since May, without elaborating on the reason. Foreigners in Japan are required to carry government-issued identification cards or passports at all times. NHK said his lawyers applied to have the terms of his bail changed so that he could carry a passport in a locked case. The key to the locked case in which the spare passport was kept was held by his lawyers, NHK said. No one was immediately available for comment at the office of his lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka, the French embassy in Tokyo, or at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. -- © Copyright Reuters 2020-01-02 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renault could be toast over this at firm's own admission that Nissan tie-up is a matter of their survival. France "could" revoke his passport, given he has 2 more, but there would always be a corrupt country or 2 that would be willing to issue him another one in exchange for some... printed cotton sheets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure. Has Thailand ever bothered with Interpol red notice? Don't remember they would. For Thai ruling parties, it's much better that Shinawatras stay outside the country than returning. Now they are seen as coward fugitives who ran away. And people may still cheer them but they are away. Imagine they showed up at Swampy immigration one day. What would they do with them? Arrest them? Can you imagine the chaos that would follow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
