OREANDA-NEWSThe Tokyo District Court ruled to confiscate the bail in favor of the state, which Carlos Ghosn, the former head of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi automobile concern, who escaped from Japan to Lebanon, made a bail for house arrest, the Japan News Agency reported. The amount of the collateral is ¥ 1.5 billion (about $ 13.8 million).

The escape of Gon became known on December 31. According to Bloomberg, the former head of the concern went to Lebanon in transit via Istanbul in a private plane, and during the transfer he was transferred in a box. According to Gon himself, he fled from "injustice and political persecution" and organized everything on his own. Later, The Wall Street Journal reported that a former American commando participated in the escape of the ex-head of Nissan.

On January 2, Lebanese secret services received a request from Interpol to arrest Gon. However, Beirut ruled out the possibility of transferring it to Tokyo, since there is no extradition agreement between the parties. Gon was detained in Japan in November 2018. He was accused of concealing income in the amount of $ 80 million, and is also suspected of writing off personal losses of $ 16 million to Nissan. Gon was repeatedly released on bail.
