A Turkish charter jet company says a rogue employee helped fugitive auto executive Carlos Ghosn escape from Japan to Lebanon. MNG Jet says it has filed a criminal complaint.
MNG Jet said in a statement Friday that two of its jets were used"illegally" to transport Ghosn without the knowledge of company management. The company said it has filed a criminal complaint.MNG said it had leased two separate planes to different clients that did not appear to be connected. One was chartered from Dubai to Osaka and then Osaka to Istanbul, while the other was booked from Istanbul to Beirut.
Ghosn — the former chairman of Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors, and former chairman and CEO of their alliance partner, Renault — had been awaiting trial in Japan on charges of financial wrongdoing, including allegations that he understated his income for years and funneled $5 million of Nissan's money to a car dealership he controlled. He was ousted from his posts at Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors following his arrest in November 2018, and later resigned from Renault .
