Tokyo prosecutors issue arrest warrants for Nissan's Ghosn

Tokyo: Tokyo prosecutors on Thursday issued arrest warrants for a former US special forces soldier and another person suspected of smuggling former Nissan Motor Co. boss Carlos Ghosn out of Japan.

Prosecutors also issued a warrant for



Ghosn for illegally leaving the country, Kyodo said.

Ghosn fled to Lebanon, his childhood home, as he was awaiting trial on charges of under-reporting earnings, breach of trust and misappropriation of company funds, all of which he denies.
