MNG state that two separate private jets to two different clients were leased using faked documents forged by an employee of the company who acted within "his own capacity." According to Business Insider, Ghosn was seen fleeing his home in Tokyo on the 29th of December.

MNG state that the first private jet used in his escape flew from Osaka's Kansai Airport at 11 p.m.

And landed in Istanbul the following day.

At 6 a.m.

Just forty-five minutes after landing, Ghosn then took a second MNG flight bound for his home in Beirut, Lebanon.

65-year-old Ghosn, who holds Brazilian, French and Lebanese nationalities, reportedly entered Beirut legally using his French passport and his Lebanese identification despite Japanese lawyers stating they had possession of all three of his passports.

Japanese outlet, NHK, however, reported that Mr. Ghosn had a duplicate French passport.

On Wednesday the 1st of January 2020, Turkish private jet firm, MNG filed a criminal complaint concerning the illegal use of its aircraft in relation to Carlos Ghosn's escape from Japan.

Mr. Ghosn is now a fugitive in Lebanon, which has no extradition treaty with Japan.

Interpol has since filed a "red notice" for his arrest with authorities there.
