Inspectors at a Japanese airport didn’t conduct X-ray checks on large cases before they were loaded onto a private jet that’s thought to have carried Carlos Ghosn as the former Nissan Motor Co chief executive officer escaped to Turkey, NHK reported on Sunday.
Kansai International Airport inspectors didn’t examine the cases as they were too big to fit into the X-ray machine, NHK said.
Airport officials don’t carry out baggage scans for private jets if requested by aircraft operators or pilots.
The cases were reportedly more than 3.3 feet tall, the public broadcaster said, adding that Japanese police now suspect that Ghosn may have hidden in one of them to fly to Turkey.
