Prosecutors said they obtained the warrant on suspicion of giving false testimony. But Mrs. Ghosn, a Lebanese citizen, is believed to be with her husband in Beirut, and Lebanon does not extradite its citizens. The Japanese ambassador met with Lebanon’s president on Tuesday, but there was no sign they had resolved the issue. Mrs. Ghosn is also a citizen of the U.S., which has an extradition treaty with Japan, but both countries have broad discretion over how they act on such warrants. Details: Prosecutors said Mrs. Ghosn testified in April that she did not know a person involved in her husband’s case, even though she was in fact in communication with the person, who at the time was wiring money between companies at Mr. Ghosn’s request. The latest: Japanese airports stepped up security in the wake of Mr. Ghosn’s daring escape, and the authorities said they confiscated the 1.5 billion yen, or nearly $14 million, in bail that Mr. Ghosn forfeited when he fled the country.
