- Story Text: Prosecutors on Thursday (January 2) raided the Tokyo residence of ousted Nissan Motor chairman Carlos Ghosn following his surprise escape days ago to Lebanon.
The prosecutors are believed to be looking for any information on how Ghosn escaped out of the country.
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.
Under the terms of his bail, Ghosn was prevented from communicating with his wife, Carole, and had his use of the Internet and other communications restricted while confined to his house in Tokyo.
Ghosn, one of the world's best-known executives, has become Japan's most famous fugitive after he revealed on Tuesday (December 31) he had fled to Lebanon to escape what he called a "rigged" justice system.
