Cairo – Disgraced former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn has revealed for the first time how he secretly escaped Japan in late 2019 while on bail for alleged financial misconduct, in an interview with the BBC.
Admitting that he hid in a box and fled the Asian nation on a private jet, Ghosn, who spoke to the BBC from Beirut, said, “The 30 minutes waiting in the box on the plane, waiting for it to take off, was probably the longest wait I’ve ever experienced in my life.”
