One of Ghosn's lawyers, Junichiro Hironaka, confessed he was 'dumbfounded' at the news of his client's flight – which he heard about via the media.

How could one of the most high-profile and instantly recognisable tycoons on Earth escape Japan just months before his trial, when his bail conditions strictly forbade him from leaving the country?

One of his lawyers, Junichiro Hironaka, confirmed to reporters that they still had them in their possession, confessing he was"dumbfounded" at the news of his client's flight -- which he heard about via the media. "If this development is true, it would be a matter between the legal authorities of the two countries," the official added.

"Was there help extended by an unnamed country? It is also a serious problem that Japan's system allowed an illegal departure so easily," complained Sato, also a former state minister for foreign affairs. Ghosn and his family had repeatedly attacked this"hostage justice system", and he said in a statement released after his arrival in Lebanon that he was not fleeing justice but had"escaped injustice and political persecution".

"The defence team have completely lost face. They promised he would stay in Japan as a condition of his bail," added Gohara.
