Carlos Ghosn, the former CEO of Renault-Nissan Motors, intends to reveal the names of people he said were behind a "coup" that ousted him from the leadership of that alliance.
Ghosn added that among these people are "some Japanese government officials," according to Bloomberg News.
He said he had evidence and documents to demonstrate that his arrest was planned to overthrow him because he wanted to integrate Nissan Motor with Renault SA.
Ghosn, a Lebanese national, is scheduled to hold a press conference tomorrow to present his account of these developments.
Ghosn had been arrested in Japan in November 2018 on charges of financial crimes, and he was released on bail pending his trial, which was to begin this year.
Ghosn is said to have fled via Istanbul to Lebanon, which has no agreement with Japan on extradition.
Last week, NHK reported, citing sources familiar with the investigation, that a security camera had picked a branch as he was leaving his residence in Tokyo alone at noon on the day of his escape.
According to Deutsche Presse-Agentur, the inspectors at Kansai airport did not conduct an x-ray examination of large bags, including one of a large musical instrument in which a branch was smuggled, which was transported to the plane, which is believed to be a branch of Ghosn to escape.
