European and US media say former Nissan Motor chairman Carlos Ghosn, who was released on bail in Japan, has arrived in Lebanon.

A security official in the country told NHK that a person who appears to be Ghosn arrived in the capital Beirut in a private jet and entered under a different name.

Ghosn has been charged with understating his executive compensation in Nissan securities reports and aggravated breach of trust over suspected misappropriation of Nissan funds.

The Tokyo District Court released him from jail in April under terms including a ban on travel abroad.

French financial newspaper Les Echos reported that Ghosn arrived in Lebanon's capital from Turkey on Monday night.
