TOKYO (Bloomberg): Fallen auto executive Carlos Ghosn almost bumped into Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe at an upscale Tokyo hotel as he set out on a daring escape from a looming trial for financial misconduct, according to reports by Japanese media.
Public broadcaster NHK showed a map of Ghosn's movements after he left his house in the Japanese capital at about 2.30pm on Dec 29, indicating he met up with collaborators at the Grand Hyatt in Tokyo's Roppongi area.
Shortly after, Abe checked in to the same hotel for his annual New Year break at about 5.30pm, according to detailed schedules published by Jiji Press and other Japanese media.
