The red notice is a"request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action," according to Interpol's website, though it is not a formal arrest warrant. Lebanon, however, has no extradition treaty with Japan. The Lebanese government has previously claimed that Ghosn entered the country legally, according to the nation's highest police command. Ghosn had turned over his passports to his Japanese lawyer.
