PARIS, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Former Nissan 7201.T and Renault
RENA.PA boss Carlos Ghosn did not use French travel documents
to travel from Japan to Lebanon, French Foreign Minister
Jean-Yves Le Drian said on Monday.
"As far as we know he did not use French documents," Le
Drian said on BFM television. He added Ghosn is receiving the
same treatment as every other French citizen overseas and said
the former Renault-Nissan CEO had not asked to come to France.
Ghosn has become an international fugitive after fleeing to
Lebanon last week to escape what he called a "rigged" justice
system in Japan, where he faces charges relating to alleged
financial crimes. urn:newsml:reuters.com:*:nL4N29B2AS
