According to CNN, former auto titan Carlos Ghosn has left Japan for Lebanon to escape what he called a "rigged Japanese justice system." Ghosn's sudden departure comes as he was awaiting a highly publicized criminal trial. In a statement, Ghosn said, "I am now in Lebanon and will no longer be held hostage by a rigged Japanese justice system." It is not clear how Ghosn — who holds both French and Lebanese citizenship — was able to leave Japan.
