Carlos Ghosn reportedly took a bullet train to the airport as part of his escape from Japan
The international fugitive, who made it to Lebanon last week, was awaiting criminal trial in Japan for financial misconduct.
Security cameras captured Ghosn leaving his home on Dec. 29 at about 2:30 p.m. and arriving some hours later at Tokyo's Shinagawa Station, where he took the train to Shin Osaka Station, Kyodo said, citing a person familiar with the matter. Prosecutors are now working with police to piece together Ghosn's route and find out who helped him, Kyodo said.
Mori offered little insight into the events of Ghosn's escape to his ancestral home, repeatedly saying she could not comment on specifics because of an ongoing investigation. Lebanon has said it received an Interpol arrest warrant for Ghosn and that he entered the country legally. A senior Lebanese security official, meanwhile, has said Lebanon does not extradite its citizens.
