A Turkish jet executive on trial over Carlos Ghosn's dramatic escape from Japan told a court on Friday that the former Nissan boss spoke about Hollywood making a movie of his getaway as he flew in a private jet to Beirut.
Ghosn, once a leading light of the global car industry, was arrested in Tokyo in late 2018 and charged with underreporting his salary and using company funds for personal purposes, charges he denies.
The ousted chairman of the alliance comprising Renault, Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. had been awaiting trial under house arrest when he escaped in late December via Istanbul to Beirut, his childhood home.
