The Mystery behind Escape

It still remains a mystery, how Ghosn, who has French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship, was able to orchestrate his departure from Japan. He had been under strict surveillance by authorities while out on bail and had surrendered his passports.

Media report suggests that he had fled his court-approved residence in Tokyo with the assistance of a paramilitary group who were disguised amongst a band of musicians.

It said the band had performed at his house and, shortly after they had finished, the 65-year-old hid in a large musical instrument case which was then hurried to a local airport.

According to the MTV story, he then flew to Turkey, before arriving in Lebanon on a private jet. Others say hehas used his French passports, which he was allowed to keep locked.
