Turkish authorities immobilized the Bombardier Global Express registered TC-TSR. This private jet was used to illegally transport the former CEO of the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi Alliance, Carlos Ghosn, from Japan where he was under house arrest after 130 days of detention and where he was facing serious charges. financial embezzlement.
The aircraft, operated by the Turkish company MNG Jet, was managed on the ground by the company InterAviation Japan Co. Ltd, an agency specializing in private jet services, airport logistics and tourism. Should we deduce that there were Japanese accomplices? In any case, this is what Carlos Ghosn would have whispered to those around him without knowing whether it was a final way of embarrassing the authorities of the Archipelago. Contacted, InterAviation Japan Co. Ltd denies and indicates that it was satisfied only with fulfilling its role as handling agent and “Routine services”, specifying “Not to have seen anything unusual on this flight on which Mr. Ghosn was not as a passenger”.
From Dubai, the private jet landed on the tarmac at Kansai Airport near Osaka, the third largest city in Japan, on December 29 at 10:10 a.m. local time. That day, according to the video surveillance images quoted by the Japanese daily Asahi, Carlos Ghosn leaves his Tokyo residence at 2:30 pm The former big boss has his face shaded by a hat and eaten by a surgical mask, a common accessory on Japanese streets. Several sources indicate that the private company mandated by Nissan to monitor Ghosn’s home had stopped its mission the same day after Ghosn’s lawyers disputed the legitimacy of this private surveillance. Ghosn then joins Osaka, a city separated from Tokyo by almost 500 km, but how it is still unknown today.
A trunk to “fasten well before takeoff”
Did he then hide in a trunk for the transport of musical instruments, as the Lebanese television channel MTV said to pass through the airport controls? A member of the entourage of Mr. Ghosn initially denied this version of the facts. The day before he fled, however, a music group had given a private concert in its Tokyo residence. A photo of a black trunk presented as the one that led to Mr. Ghosn’s incredible flight has been around for a few days. According to several sources interviewed by The world, pilots and crew members of the private jet told Turkish investigators of the presence of a trunk on board that he “Had to tie well before takeoff”. The trunk would have been ordered from Dubai and modified to have wheels and small holes to allow it to breathe.
