Few countries will be monitoring Ghosn’s comments more closely than Japan, where his work to turn around Nissan earned him something of a saviour image. Ghosn was carrying one of his two French passports when he left Japan, according to a Japanese media report. I still can’t come to terms with how he managed to get out of Japan like that. The Lebanese presidency on Thursday denied reports that President Michel Aoun had welcomed Ghosn upon his arrival in the country. Reuters repeated claims made by the Wall Street Journal that the plan to get Ghosn out of Japan had been three months in the making.
