Beirut received an arrest warrant from Interpol regarding ex-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn who escaped from Japan to Lebanon, Lebanese Justice Minister said in a Thursday statement.

A red notice has been received from the Interpol, Albert Serhan added.

On Tuesday, Lebanese Interior Ministry announced that Ghosn had arrived legally in Lebanon early Monday.
