ISTANBUL: Turkish private aircraft operator MNG Jet said on Friday that its planes were used illegally in the escape from Japan of ex-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn, adding it had filed a criminal complaint.
In a statement, the jet operator said one of its employees admitted having falsified the records to exclude Ghosn's name from official documentation without the knowledge the company.
“I alone organised my departure," Ghosn said in a brief statement issued through a public relations firm. “My family played no role." He said on Tuesday he’s ready to “finally communicate freely with the media" as soon as next week. It’s still a mystery how Ghosn, one of the most recognisable foreigners in Japan, snuck out of the country despite round-the-clock surveillance -- an escape befitting a Hollywood thriller.
