Japan continues to seek Carlos Ghosn in Lebanon

Japan's Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga on Thursday said his country will continue to seek former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn, who skipped bail and fled to Leban. Japan will take measures to ensure its "criminal justice system can be operated appropriately," Suga told reporters in Tokyo.

He said it was up to Lebanese government to decide on wher it would extrite Ghosn, who was arrested in vember 2018 on financial misconducts allegations. Leban last week received an Interpol-issued wanted tice - a n-binding request to law enforcement ncies worldwide that y locate and provisionally arrest a fugitive.

Leban and Japan do t have an extrition treaty, and Interpol tice does t require Leban to arrest him. Lebanese authorities have said Ghosn entered country on a legal passport, casting doubt on possibility y would hand him over to Japan.
