Ousted Renault-Nissan boss Ghosn leaves Japan for Lebanon(UPdate)

It was unclear how Ghosn, who holds both French and Lebanese citizenship, would have been able to leave Japan, where he has been under strict court-imposed restrictions on his movements

PARIS/TOKYO: Carlos Ghosn, the ousted boss of the Renault-Nissan carmaking alliance who was grounded in Japan while awaiting trial on charges of financial misconduct, was in Lebanon as of Monday, a person close to Ghosn told Reuters.

The person, who declined to be identified, did not elaborate on how Ghosn reached Lebanon and said the former Nissan chairman - who is out on bail with conditions including handing his passport in to Japanese authorities - would issue a statement "soon".
