Two men questioned in Lebanon at Turkey's request over 2019 escape of former Nissan tycoon

  • Lebanese authorities have questioned two individuals in Beirut regarding their suspected involvement in the escape of Carlos Ghosn from Japan to Lebanon in 2019. One of the individuals is a Lebanese pilot who denied receiving payment for facilitating Ghosn's escape. The other individual, George-Antoine Zayek, acknowledged his association with a third individual, Michael Taylor, who helped hide Ghosn in a black box.
  • Ghosn, the former president of Nissan, has filed a $1 billion lawsuit in Lebanon against the company and several individuals over his imprisonment in Japan and alleged misinformation spread against him. He was arrested in Japan in 2018 on charges including breach of trust and violating securities laws.
  • Ghosn, who holds French, Brazilian, and Lebanese citizenship, is wanted in Japan and France. However, Lebanon does not have an extradition treaty with Japan and does not extradite its citizens.
