Turkish police detain seven people, including four pilots, over the Istanbul transit of ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn, who fled his trial in Japan
Turkish authorities are investigating possible security flaws that allowed former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn to skip bail in Japan and flee to Lebanon via Istanbul.
Turkey's interior ministry said a number of suspects, including pilots, have been detained as part of its investigation.He had flown to Lebanon on a private jet via Istanbul. Lebanon said that Ghosn entered the country legally and there was no reason to take action against him.Ghosn, who was charged with under-reporting his future compensation and a breach of trust, has repeatedly asserted his innocence.
He says Japanese authorities trumped up the charges to prevent a possible fuller merger between Nissan Motor Co. and alliance partner Renault SA. A $14 million bail that Ghosn posted on two separate instances to get out of detention is being revoked.
