BEIRUT (Reuters) – The Lebanese federal government does not know how Nissan ex-boss Carlos Ghosn made it from Japan, where he was due to be pursued monetary misconduct, to Lebanon, the foreign ministry stated on Tuesday.
Lebanon sent out official correspondence on Ghosn to Japan a year ago without receiving a reply, and a complete file was shown Japan’s assistant foreign minister in Beirut a few days back, the ministry declaration stated.
It said Lebanon does not have a judicial cooperation contract with Japan, but shared the details as part of a United Nations agreement on battling corruption.
