Carlos Ghosn, former Nissan boss, escaped from Japan and went to Lebanon, he has a trial in Japan over allegations of financial misconduct, according to BBC.
In a statement, Mr Ghosn said he had not fled justice but “escaped injustice and political persecution”.
His lawyer said he was “dumbfounded” by the news and that he had not recently spoken with his client.
It is unclear how the former chief executive officer managed to leave, as he was barred from travelling abroad.
Mr Ghosn, who has an estimated net worth of $120m (£91m), was one of the most powerful figures in the global car industry until his arrest in November 2018. He denies any wrongdoing.
