Japan likely to speak with Lebanon via diplomatic route over Ghosn's escape

Japan is expected to speak with Lebanon through diplomatic channels about Carlos Ghosn fleeing Tokyo for the West Asian country. The comment on Wednesday would mark some of the earliest indications about how Tokyo plans to respond after the former head of Nissan Motor Co. and Renault SA snuck out Japan where he was awaiting trial. Lebanon, where Ghosn grew up and holds citizenship, doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Japan and it’s not clear what Japan will pursue in its diplomatic negotiations. The former industry heavyweight also has French and Brazilian citizenship.
