The previously popular version of "Hiding in a Musical Instrument Box and Escape" has undergone a shocking reversal, with the ups and downs of the plot exceeding most of the previous expectations.
Look at the previous version first:
The Tokyo District Court has always rejected the defense request for Ghosn’s bail, but Ghosn’s lawyers finally persuaded Ghosn to agree to install surveillance at his home monitors his house 24 hours a day and turned over all of Ghosn’s passports. Ghosn has three nationalities: Brazilian, French, and Lebanese, so he has three passports. And no contact with the outside world is allowed, and the Internet is only allowed in the presence of a lawyer.
While on bail, Ghosn hid in the band’s double bass box and left the apartment. He drove to Osaka's Kansai International Airport and took a private jet from Türkiye. The plane passed through Türkiye again and finally reached Lebanon.
Turkish private jet operator MNG? Jet said Ghosn allegedly illegally used two of his planes to flee Japan and that an employee falsified lease records to hide Ghosn's name in the records. MNG? Jet said it has launched criminal proceedings in response to the incident. Turkish police detained seven people, including four pilots. One employee admitted to falsifying records and deliberately "concealing Ghosn's name" in official documents.
French media reported that Ghosn holds a second French passport, mainly used to prove his short-term travel in Japan, but this passport is kept in a box with a password and can only be passed through Lawyer activated. Ghosn's law firm responded that it was a 4-digit code lock. There are indications that Ghosn entered Lebanon with this passport.
The latest version is completely different:
Ghosn did not smuggle the instrument out of the house hidden in its violin case, but walked out on his own. A Japanese police surveillance video captured Ghosn on February 29, 2018. NHK reported on the 3rd that a surveillance camera outside Ghosn’s Tokyo residence captured Ghosn going out alone at noon on December 9, 2019, but did not take him home.
No other suspicious persons were photographed entering or leaving Ghosn’s residence during that time. But throughout the escape from Japan, the band's instrument box still played an important role, because Ghosn was hidden in the instrument box at Osaka Airport and was transported on a private jet.
According to Reuters reports, Ghosn was able to leave his home alone on February 29, 65438, and start his escape career without anyone stopping him?
The reason is that while Ghosn was on bail, the Japanese police only installed surveillance cameras outside Ghosn’s residence. Instead, Nissan has been hiring a detective agency to monitor it. However, Ghosn's lawyers told the appeals court in June that such surveillance seriously harmed Ghosn's human rights and claimed to file criminal charges against Nissan Motor Co. and the detective agency. To avoid prosecution, detectives stopped following Ghosn on the day he fled.
According to the latest news from Japanese media, an investigation by Osaka Kansai Airport Customs showed that a Turkish MNG Airlines plane flew from Dubai to Kansai International Airport before noon on February 29, 65438. At that time, several large wooden boxes were unloaded from the plane, said to be used to install speaker equipment, and two of them were transported out of the airport. On the night of the 29th, when the two wooden boxes entered the airport for customs clearance, they declared speaker equipment.
Because the wooden box was too big to pass the X-ray inspection machine, it was directly transported onto the private jet without opening the box for inspection. When the Japanese police inspected one of the boxes, they found several holes for ventilation, and therefore suspected that Ghosn was hidden in the wooden box and transported to the private plane.
In addition, Ghosn’s foothold at Osaka Airport was also discovered before he fled Japan. Reuters reported that he was resting in a VIP lounge used by private jet passengers at Kansai Airport in Osaka, Japan, because he was traveling on a private business jet. This keeps it relatively private and away from the attention of passing crowds.
It has long been believed that Ghosn’s wife played a key role in the jailbreak, but as the investigation deepened, it was discovered that other people played a more critical role in the jailbreak. , including former U.S. Special Forces.
A report in the British "Financial Times" stated that the passenger list of the private plane obtained by the Japanese police from the airport showed that in addition to the crew, there were two Americans on the private plane! Accompanying Ghosn were two people holding American passports, Michael Taylor (Michael? Taylor) and George Antoine Zayek (George? Antoine Zayek).
Some media It was discovered that Michael Taylor is a former member of the U.S. Army Special Forces and currently works for a U.S. security company. He was directly involved in the rescue operation of an American journalist kidnapped by Taliban forces in June 2009.
According to foreign media reports, two sources close to Ghosn said that Ghosn’s escape was carefully planned. According to its description, a private security company was responsible for formulating and supervising the entire escape plan, and the preparations lasted for three months. Ghosn recently confirmed that the escape plan was planned entirely by one person and had nothing to do with his family. In a statement, he said, "Media reports that my wife Carol and other family members played a role in my departure from Japan are untrue. I intend to leave alone."?
“Ghosn’s escape is a crazy story!” A former Nissan executive who worked with Ghosn said in an interview with Toutiao APP. With Ghosn being listed in the red Wanted, where will this crazy story go? Is this expensive fugitive really free? Can he still control his life in the game between the governments of Japan, France and Lebanon?
