Japan’s justice minister vowed to strengthen border checks and review bail conditions after Nissan’s former chairman, Carlos Ghosn, fled the country despite supposedly stringent surveillance.
Ghosn skipped bail and showed up in Lebanon a week ago, saying he could not get a fair hearing in Japan, where he was awaiting trial on financial misconduct allegations.The Wall Street Journal reported that Michael L. Taylor, a former Green Beret who has previously rescued hostages, was among those involved in Ghosn’s escape plan.
