BEIRUT/TOKYO: Carlos Ghosn's lawyer said he was"very comfortable" with legal proceedings in Lebanon on Thursday, after the fugitive ex-Nissan boss was questioned over an extradition request from Japan where he faces financial misappropriation charges.
He also said he did not want to put pressure on Japan-Lebanon bilateral ties, two days after Japan's ambassador to Lebanon requested greater cooperation from President Michel Aoun in dealing in the case. "Defendant Ghosn was looking to justify his unlawful exit from Japan by propagating a false recognition of our justice system," she said at the second of two news conferences, the first of which was held shortly after midnight.
Ghosn has also said he was ready to stay for a long time in Lebanon and a source close to the 65-year-old has said his legal team is pushing for him to be tried in the country. The prosecutor released him with the same condition, that he keep the authorities aware of his place of residence, the sources said.
