Interpol Issues Arrest Warrant For Nissan Fugitive Ghosn

Lebanon received an Interpol arrest warrant on Thursday for ousted Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn.

According to Reuters, Turkey has launched an investigation into his daring escape from Japan via Istanbul.

Ghosn has become an international fugitive after he revealed on Tuesday he had fled to Lebanon to escape what he called a “rigged” justice system in Japan.

There, he faces charges relating to alleged financial crimes.

Sources say Ghosn used a private security company to smuggle him out of Japan via private jet.

The Interpol red notice has yet to be referred to the Lebanese judiciary.

It's unclear if Ghosn will be summoned for questioning over the warrant.

However, Lebanon does not extradite its citizens to foreign states.
