A Turkish airline company says its jets were used illegally in Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn's escape from Japan. Istanbul-based MNG Jet said an employee falsified records and that Ghosn's name did not appear on any documentation related to the flights.

Ghosn earlier this week jumped bail in Japan and fled to Lebanon rather than face trial on financial misconduct charges in a dramatic escape that has confounded and embarrassed authorities.

MNG Jet said Friday it had filed a criminal complaint in Turkey concerning the illegal use of its jet charter services. "The two leases were seemingly not connected to each other. The name of Mr. Ghosn did not appear in the official documentation of any of the flights," MNG Jet said in a statement. The statement did not say who the jets were leased to.

Shortly after the Interpol notice, Ghosn issued a statement -- his second this week -- seeking to distance his Lebanese wife and family from any role in his escape.
