Japan condemns Ghosn's escape and orders investigation
Japan's justice minister called the flight of former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn – as he awaited trial on financial misconduct charges – inexcusable and vowed to beef up immigration checks.
Justice Minister Masako Mori said she had ordered an investigation after Ghosn issued a statement a few days ago saying he was in Lebanon.She said his bail has been revoked, and Interpol had issued a wanted notice. Departure checks needed to be strengthened to prevent a recurrence, Mori said. Tokyo prosecutors issued a similar statement Sunday. They had opposed Ghosn's release on bail, arguing he was a flight risk.
