Ghosn would surrender his French passport to the Lebanese authorities later on Thursday, one of the sources said after the questioning, which took place at Beirut’s Justice Palace, the headquarters of the judiciary.The Brazilian-born Ghosn said on Wednesday he had escaped to Lebanon to clear his name and was ready to stand trial anywhere he could get a fair hearing.
The prosecutor released him with the same condition, that he keep the authorities aware of his place of residence, the sources said.
