Tokyo: Former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn, who fled to Lebanon to avoid a Japanese trial, had a second French passport, a source said Thursday, as authorities raided his Tokyo residence during a probe into the embarrassing security lapse.

Ghosn, who faced multiple charges of financial misconduct that he denies, got bail in April with strict conditions — including ban on overseas travel. How Ghosn escaped is unclear but he said through the Paris-based agency handling his PR, "The media reports saying my wife Carole and other family members played a role in my departure from Japan are falsehoods. I alone organised my departure."
