sought by a French magistrate, Ghosn\u2019s spokesman said, a case linked to a probe into suspect money flows between Renault and an Omani dealership.<\/p>\n<p>The architect of the Renault-Nissan auto alliance has been fighting multiple probes since fleeing in late 2019 to Lebanon from Japan, where he faced separate financial misconduct allegations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is surprising, Ghosn has always co-operated with French authorities,\u201d a spokesperson for Ghosn in France told Reuters, reacting to a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/carlos-ghosns-french-arrest-warrants-focus-on-bonus-payments-11650648126?page=1\">report of the international arrest warrant<\/a> in the Wall Street Journal.<\/p>\n<p>Five international arrest warrants for Ghosn and the current owners or former directors of the Omani company Suhail Bahwan Automobiles, a vehicle distributor in Oman, were issued by the investigative judge, the Nanterre prosecutor\u2019s office confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>Bahwan\u2019s lawyer said that his client formally denied having taken part, in any way whatsoever, in the offences referred to in the arrest warrant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe has already provided evidence of his innocence and is at the full disposal of the French justice system,\u201d said Christophe Ingrain in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The Japanese investigation precipitated a vertiginous fall from grace for Ghosn, who had lived a jet-set lifestyle with properties in Paris, Rio de Janeiro and Beirut before he was detained for months in a Tokyo custody center and under home arrest.<\/p>\n<p>He escaped Japan hidden in a box aboard a private jet.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img

his childhood home in Lebanon while denying the cases against him.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">EPA<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>At the time of Ghosn\u2019s escape, he was awaiting trial on charges that he understated his compensation in Nissan\u2019s financial statements by 9.3 billion yen ($85 million) over a decade and enriched himself at his employer\u2019s expense through payments to car dealerships.<\/p>\n<p>Ghosn \u2014 who denies any wrongdoing in the cases against him \u2014 remains in his childhood home, Lebanon, which has no extradition treaty with Japan and has a policy of not extraditing its own nationals.<\/p>\n<p>Ghosn holds passports from France, Lebanon and Brazil.<\/p>\n<p>French prosecutors allege Ghosn funneled millions of dollars of Renault funds through the Omani car distributor for his personal use, including for the purchase of a 120-foot yacht.<\/p>\n<p>In early 2020, French prosecutors stepped up their investigation into Ghosn\u2019s Omani dealings and a lavish party he threw at the Versailles palace in 2014. Ghosn told Reuters in an interview last year that he was prepared for a lengthy process to clear his name with French authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Ghosn was chairman of both Nissan and Mitsubishi and chief executive of Renault when he was arrested in Japan in 2018.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
