Ghosn's wife may have paid off witnesses, destroyed evidence: Tokyo prosecutors
Carole Nahas, spouse of former Nissan Motor Co. chief and current fugitive Carlos Ghosn, is suspected of bribing or cajoling witnesses into not cooperating with the investigation into her husband, a senior Japanese prosecutor told reporters on Jan. 9. Takahiro Saito, deputy chief prosecutor at the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office, said Nahas, 53, may have also destroyed evidence according to Ghosn's wishes. It is very unusual for prosecutors in Japan to refer to evidence or witness statements prior to the beginning of a public trial. Saito also used the news conference to rebuff criticisms of Japan's investigative practices and justice system made by Ghosn during a Jan. 8 appearance before the news media in Beirut.
Ghosn, 65, escaped Japan for Lebanon in late December as he awaited trial on charges of financial misconduct while helming the Japanese auto giant, including funneling Nissan funds to a Saudi acquaintance and to accounts under his control via a Nissan subsidiary in Oman. Nahas, who is with her husband in Beirut, is wanted in Japan on suspicion of giving false evidence in relation to Ghosn's case. The Tokyo prosecutors' office's special investigation unit recovered Nahas' mobile phone during a search of the Tokyo residence where Ghosn had been living since April 2019, after his release on bail. Saito stated that analysis of the phone turned up evidence that Nahas had demanded that an executive with the Omani subsidiary and staff at a Lebanese law office refuse to cooperate with Tokyo prosecutors.
The deputy chief prosecutor furthermore said that Nahas is suspected of sending a large sum in hush money to Ghosn's ex-wife, who is thought to have played a role in Ghosn's alleged financial dirty dealings. Japanese authorities believe Ghosn managed to communicate directions to Nahas in some form even during his detention. Saito called the suspected scheme "truly deplorable." During his Beirut press conference, Ghosn claimed that during his 130 total days in confinement, he was questioned for eight hours a day without access to a lawyer, and prosecutors attempted to force him to confess.
In response, Saito told reporters on Jan. 9 that Ghosn had been questioned on 70 of the 130 days, for an average of just under four hours each time. Furthermore, Saito stated, Ghosn had met his lawyer at least 120 times for an average of two hours per session. "The former chairman (Ghosn)'s claims are absurd, and in complete conflict with the truth," the senior prosecutor said. "He simply did not want to be punished, and fled abroad."
Meanwhile, regarding Ghosn's Japanese lawyers denying prosecutors access to a computer the former Nissan chairman used while he was out on bail, Saito stated, "It was the defense attorneys' idea to include (Ghosn's use of a PC) in the bail conditions. They should take it upon themselves to explain to the court how he escaped."
