ISTANBUL: An Istanbul court ordered the release of five suspects after the trial began Friday into the audacious escape of former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn from Japan to Lebanon via Istanbul in December, local media reported.
An airline employee, Okan Kosemen, and four pilots were charged with “illegally smuggling a migrant” and risk up to eight years in jail, according to the official Anadolu news agency. The indictment said the MNG employee received several payments into his bank account totalling over €250,000 in the months before Ghosn’s flight.
“The situation freaked me out,” Kosemen said, quoted by Anadolu, after Mezsaroz apparently told him on the phone that he knew where the employee’s wife worked and where his child went to school.
