The report said that two related personnel of this company were arrested in Massachusetts in May 2020 on suspicion of assisting Ghosn to flee. Both are Americans, one of them is a retired member of the US Army Special Forces, and the other is his son. In October 2019, Ghosn remitted the above funds to the company account operated by the two persons through a French bank account.
According to previous reports, in November 2018, Ghosn was arrested in Japan on suspicion of concealing huge personal income and embezzling company funds for private expenditure and other economic issues. Ghosn denied all the allegations. In April 2019, Ghosn was arrested again. After that, the court agreed to Ghosn's bail, but asked him not to leave Japan.
The Japanese court originally scheduled to hear the Ghosn case in April 2020, but he fled bizarrely in Japan last December and arrived in Lebanon to bombard the Japanese judiciary with "unfairness". In January 2020, Japan issued a new arrest warrant against Ghosn.
