Carlos Ghosn Sneaked Out of Japan in Box Used for Audio Gear
Former auto executive was accompanied by private security contractors on flight to Turkey
Former auto titan Carlos Ghosn, packed into a case typically used for concert audio equipment, was sneaked onto a private jet at an airport in Osaka, Japan, late Sunday, according to people familiar with the matter, in what has become one of the corporate world’s most stunning cases of bail jumping.
His escape from Japan, where he was fighting charges of financial crime stemming from his time at the top of Nissan Motor Co. and Renault SA, was months in the making, according to people familiar with the matter, and was put in motion only after Mr. Ghosn became convinced that his trial, slated for later this year, could drag on for years.
Mr. Ghosn, who is 65 years old, has said he arranged his escape on his own, but he was accompanied on his flight from Osaka to Istanbul, these people said, by an expert in the art of clandestine getaways: Michael Taylor, a former Green Beret well-known in the small, tight world of private security contractors.
This account of his journey is based on interviews with people familiar with a Turkish probe of two planes used in the escape, photos that are part of that probe, and conversations with people familiar with Mr. Ghosn’s thinking and the planning and execution of the escape. A spokeswoman for Mr. Ghosn declined to comment on how he left Japan.
As last year neared its end, Mr. Ghosn became increasingly distraught at the prospect of a drawn-out trial. He was living in a court-monitored house in Tokyo, with severe restrictions on contact with his family. While he was free to leave his home, he wasn’t allowed to leave Japan.
