Ousted Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn 'flies to Lebanon'

Ghosn had been under strict bail conditions requiring him to stay in Japan

Carlos Ghosn, the ousted boss of the Renault-Nissan car-making alliance who was awaiting trial in Japan, has flown to Lebanon, France’s Les Echos newspaper reported.

The newspaper cited its own unnamed source and a report in Lebanese newspaper L’Orient-Le Jour late on Monday. There was no immediate confirmation from official sources.

It was unclear how Ghosn, who holds both French and Lebanese citizenship, would have been able to leave Japan, where he has been under strict court-imposed restrictions on his movements.

This is why Courts should not grant the uber wealthy that are even remotely likely to flee bail.
This story is a fairly big deal here (Kanagawa), and people are not happy. Though people are waiting for confirmation

1. Why was he restricted from talking to his wife for seven months?

2. The main concern was the two would conspire to tamper with evidence

I have little doubt that she aided in his jumping bail (if he really did leave Japan)
