French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, seen leaving the Elysee Palace in Paris, France, says Ghosn did not use his French documents to escape.Former Nissan and Renault 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.
