This is the box — complete with freshly drilled air holes — that ex-Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn allegedly used to smuggle himself out of Japan.
Ghosn had been out on bail in Tokyo, awaiting trial on hefty embezzlement charges, when he used the concert-equipment box and a team of former paramilitary officers for his crate escape late last month, the Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The disgraced former auto giant allegedly had the military team pose as musicians when they entered his tony apartment, lugging instruments and carrying equipment with them. The ex-soldiers then stashed him in the large black and silver-metal box to avoid raising alarms as they nonchalantly carried him out of the pad in it and transported him to an airport in Osaka, Japan, law-enforcement sources have said, according to reports.
The concert-equipment crate was later discovered empty inside a private jet at the Ataturk Airport in Istanbul, Turkey, sources told the Journal. That’s where Ghosn had been been flown from Japan, before being transferred to another business jet and finally taken on to Beirut, Lebanon, where he remains.
The box was discovered with air holes drilled at the bottom, the Journal noted.
