A security expert reveals the possible thinking behind Carlos Ghosn's wild escape from Japan, which involved 2 planes and a mad dash between Turkey and Lebanon
Whoever planned Ghosn's escape was likely skilled, Tulane professor and security expert Robert Allen said, but this probably wasn't the work of a reputable security company, which would not want to risk the reputational damage resulting from a botched operation.
To pull off this kind of high-stakes endeavor, you need to plan it in a way that minimizes your odds of being detected. That means traveling at night and using a private airport, Allen said. While Allen said it is difficult to determine how much money the operation might have cost, he estimated it fell somewhere in the range of a few million dollars.
There has been speculation that Ghosn was transported inside a container of some kind. That scenario would make sense, Allen said, as the alternative, using a disguise, would not hold up to serious scrutiny.
