France has issued an arrest warrant for Carlos Ghosn, the fugitive auto executive who used to lead Renault-Nissan.
The prosecutor's office in Nanterre, near Paris, confirmed to CNN on Friday that it had issued an international arrest warrant for Ghosn, who now lives in Lebanon, and the owners of Suhail Bahwan Automobiles, an Omani vehicle distributor.
"The judge overseeing the case has issued five international arrest warrants against M. Carlos Ghosn and the current owners or former leaders of the Omani company SBA," a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office said in a statement.
