		</div><p>Japanese prosecutors have raided the Tokyo home of former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn after he skipped bail before a trial on financial misconduct charges and left for Lebanon.</p>
<p>Japanese media reported on and showed photos of the raid. Government offices are closed this week for the New Year holidays.</p>
<p>It is unclear how Mr Ghosn avoided the tight surveillance he was under in Japan and escaped to Lebanon.</p>
<p>Mr Ghosn said he left for Lebanon because he thought the Japanese judicial system was unjust, and he wanted to avoid “political persecution”.</p>
<p>He said he would talk to reporters next week.</p>
<p>Japan does not have an extradition treaty with Lebanon.</p>
<p>Lebanon has said Mr Ghosn entered the country legally, and there was no reason to take action against him.</p>
<p>His lawyers in Japan said they had no knowledge of the escape and they had all his passports. Mr Ghosn has French, Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship.</p>
<p>Japanese public broadcaster NHK TV, without identifying sources, reported that Mr Ghosn had two French passports.</p>
<p>Earlier Japanese reports said there were no official records in Japan of Mr Ghosn’s departure, but a private jet had left from a regional airport to Turkey.</p>
<p>Mr Ghosn, who was charged with under-reporting his future compensation and breach of trust, has repeatedly asserted his innocence, saying authorities trumped up charges to prevent a possible fuller merger between Nissan Motor Company and alliance partner Renault SA.</p>
<p>His 1.5 billion yen bail that Mr Ghosn posted on two separate instances to get out of detention is being revoked.</p>
