Former Nissan chief was flown from Osaka to Istanbul on a private plane and transferred onto another plane to Beirut.
A Turkish court has convicted two pilots and an official from a private airline over their involvement in former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn’s dramatic escape out of Japan in 2019. The court in Istanbul sentenced each of them to four years and two months in prison on Wednesday. It acquitted two other pilots of the charge of “illegally smuggling a migrant”. Two flight attendants were also acquitted of failing to report a crime.More Related News
