Ghosn fled Japan over trial delay, block on contact with wife: sources

BEIRUT/TOKYO - Ousted Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn decided to flee Japan after learning that his trial had been delayed until April 2021 and also because he had not been allowed to speak to his wife, sources close to Ghosn said on Thursday.

Sources close to Ghosn said he learned at a recent court hearing that one of his two trials in Japan would be delayed until April 2021. No firm date has been set for either trial but at least one was widely expected to start in April 2020. No one was immediately available for comment at the office of Ghosn’s lawyer, Junichiro Hironaka or at the French embassy in Tokyo, or at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office.

She said the other detainees were two airport ground staff and one cargo worker and all seven were expected to give statements before a court on Thursday. Japanese authorities have not officially commented on Ghosn’s disappearance. Government offices are shut this week for the New Year holiday

😳 I fully support his 'escape' then

MSM sure loves the billionaires!

Ghosn fled from Japan due to fear of being locked up for good. Period.

Money 💴 💰 talk and 💩 walk

Will they hand him over by all means to prevent friction by the yen loan?

We stand for CarlosGhosn.

Too soon for wife jokes. Also, wrong decade.

Seems to be more than meets the eye here

And certainly not to avoid conviction and sentencing.

His was the case of a corp coup. Ghosn is a visionary - who steered Nissan away from extinction.
