Ex-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn talks of daring escape from Japan

Carlos Ghosn has for the first time given details about his daring escape from Japan while he was awaiting trial on charges of financial misconduct.

In an interview with the BBC, the former Nissan chairman confirmed reports that he was smuggled out of Japan while out on bail in December 2019 inside a box used to store musical equipment, before arriving in Lebanon via Turkey.

In previous public comments, Ghosn, who holds Brazilian, French and Lebanese passports, had refused to explain how he escaped.
