A day after Ghosn made an impassioned defence in front world media of his decision to jump bail and flee Japan, Ghosn on Thursday morning gave testimony to Lebanese prosecutors over an Interpol "red notice" urging his arrest. "The state prosecution issued a travel ban for Ghosn, and asked for his file from the Japanese authorities," a judicial source told AFP. 'Ridiculous'On Thursday afternoon, Ghosn told Lebanese media the travel ban was just a "routine" measure and he had not planned to travel anyway. The Japanese "judicial system is completely backwards," he said in an interview with Lebanon's LBCI television channel. 'Collusion'At his first public appearance since his escape to Lebanon, he said Wednesday he had been forced to flee Japan because he would not get a fair trial.
