How did Carlos Ghosn escape from Japan to Lebanon?

An amazing step raised many questions and speculations about how Carlos Ghosn escaped from the Japanese authorities, espec

In a sudden development in the case of the former president of the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi Alliance, which built the largest coalition in the car sector in the world and was arrested in Japan a year ago for financial violations, Carlos Ghosn announced last Tuesday that he was in Lebanon, which shocked him again after he managed to leave Japan where he was under house arrest, to appear in Lebanon.

There is no confirmed information, but there is a lot of speculation in the media that he was smuggl

Media reports, including the Wall Street Journal, claimed that Ghosn entered Lebanon via Turkey, based on data from the Flate Radar 24 website on the follow-up of flights, saying that the site showed that a private plane left Istanbul to Lebanon immediately after the arrival of a Osaka special plane in Japan to Istanbul.

Ghadhan's escape apparently surprised even his lawyers. One of them confirmed that his client is a very well-known face and there is no possibility that he could leave Japan without being spotted.

Ghosn was arrested by Japanese authorities in November 2018, when his private plane landed in Tokyo and remained imprisoned for more than 100 days.

Ghosn confirmed that he fled to Lebanon to escape the "corrupt" legal system in Japan. The Lebanese-French businessman said, "I am no longer hostage to a biased Japanese justice system, where guilt is assumed." He added, "I have not escaped justice, I have liberated myself from injustice and political persecution.

The Yomiuri Shimbun said, "The escape is a cowardly act that mocks the Japanese judicial system." The newspaper said, "The escape has thus lost the opportunity to prove his innocence and defend his honor."

Sanki Shimyon, a provincial newspaper, said prosecutors believe the court was under "external pressure" by granting bail amid widespread media criticism of Japan's judicial system, which allows for a long-term extension.

In Japan, defendants who deny charges are often held for long periods and subjected to intense interrogation without a lawyer present.

Japanese civil rights groups and Japan's main bar association have long criticized the regime, which has condemned 99.9% of the defendants in criminal cases.

These groups say that the system gives prosecutors too much power to hold defendants for long periods before they are formally charged.

The escape of Ghosn is obviously a shock to Japan's judiciary.
