Lebanon said Thursday that it had received a "red notice" from Interpol confirming that the former auto titan is wanted by police.

red notices

红色通报是国际刑警组织成员要求成员国协助侦查犯罪时发放的7种要犯通报之一，因通报左上角的国际刑警徽为红色而得名，属最高级别的紧急快速通报，其余6种分别为蓝色、绿色、黄色、黑色、橙色和紫色，各种通报以该组织的官方语言——英语、法语、西班牙语和阿拉伯语所发出。

红色通报是最著名的国际通报，俗称“红色通缉令”，由经办国国际刑警中心局局长和国际刑警组织总秘书处秘书长共同签发。红色通报是可以对所通缉的人员实施拘捕并进行引渡的通报，不过这并不意味着接到红色通报的国家，必须立即逮捕被通缉人员，“红色通缉令”并不像人们想像的那样“法力无边”。红色通报的有效期是5年。期满之后没有抓到犯罪嫌疑人，可以再续5年，直到抓住为止。(百度百科)

Interpol

It is still not clear how Ghosn, who is a citizen of France, Brazil and Lebanon, was able to slip out of Japan. Reuters and the Financial Times have reported that he was smuggled out of Tokyo by a private security company -— a plot that the media organizations say took months to concoct.

smuggle

表示“走私；偷运”，英文解释为“If someone smuggles things or people into a place or out of it, they take them there illegally or secretly.”举个🌰：

The governor of Istanbul said in a statement Thursday that Turkish police have detained seven people in connection with an investigation into Ghosn's "illegal escape" from Japan. Anadolu news agency said that Ghosn traveled via the city's Ataturk airport. Police detained four pilots of a private airline, a company manager and two ground staff at the request of the Istanbul prosecutor, according to the statement from the governor's office.

detain

1）表示“拘留；扣押”，英文解释为“to keep sb in an official place, such as a police station, a prison or a hospital, and prevent them from leaving”举个🌰：

One man has been detained for questioning.

一个男人被拘留审问。

2）表示“耽搁；留住；阻留”，英文解释为“to delay sb or prevent them from going somewhere”举个🌰：

I'm sorry—he'll be late; he's been detained at a meeting.

对不起—他要晚点到，他因会议耽搁了。

Flight tracker Flightradar24 showed a private jet flying from Osaka, Japan, to Istanbul and then another continuing to Lebanon at the time Ghosn is said to have arrived in the country.

CNN Business has been unable to verify the circumstances behind his departure, and Ghosn did not elaborate on his escape in his public statement earlier this week. In a brief statement on Thursday, Ghosn denied reports that his family were involved in helping him flee.

"All such speculation is inaccurate and false. I alone arranged for my departure. My family had no role whatsoever," he said.

whatsover

表示“任何（用于名词词组之后，强调否定陈述）”，英文解释为“You use whatsoever after a noun group in order to emphasize a negative statement.”举个🌰：

My school did nothing whatsoever in the way of athletics. 

我的学校就体育运动而言没有任何作为。

Japan's justice ministry, the Tokyo prosecutor's office and the city's district court have not responded to requests from CNN Business this week for comment about Ghosn's escape. Government offices are closed this week for the New Year holiday.

Legal experts and political analysts say that Japan is probably trying to figure out whether Ghosn violated immigration law when he left the country — not that there's much of a chance of forcing him to return.

Prosecutors in Tokyo are now likely retracing Ghosn's moves through Japan, collecting surveillance footage and searching for potential collaborators said Nobuo Gohara, a former prosecutor who now runs a compliance and law office in Japan.

retrace

1）表示“沿原路返回；折回”，英文解释为“to go back along exactly the same path or route that you have come along”举个🌰：

She turned around and began to retrace her steps  towards the house.

她转身沿原路向那栋房子走去。

2）表示“重走（别人走过的路线）”，英文解释为“to make the same trip that sb else has made in the past”举个🌰：

They are hoping to retrace the epic voyage of Christopher Columbus.

他们期待着沿哥伦布的壮丽航程进行一次航行。  

3）表示“追溯；找出；回顾”，英文解释为“to find out what sb has done or where they have been”举个🌰：

Detectives are trying to retrace her movements on the night she disappeared.

侦探试图查出她失踪当晚的行踪。

Gohara added that Ghosn's trial is almost certainly now canceled. The bigger question, he said, is how Japanese authorities will respond to Ghosn's attacks on them, now that he is able to speak freely about his detention.

detention

1）表示“拘留；监禁”，英文解释为“Detention is when someone is arrested or put into prison.”

2）另一个含义，表示“（作为惩罚）放学后留校”，英文解释为“a form of punishment in which children are made to stay at school for a short time after classes have ended”，举个🌰：

He's had five detentions this term.

这学期他5次被罚课后留下。

Ghosn has repeatedly denied the charges against him, and claimed that his arrest was part of a plot to remove him from the automotive empire he built. In his statement this week, he said he would "no longer be held hostage by a rigged Japanese justice system where guilt is presumed, discrimination is rampant, and basic human rights are denied."

rampant

表示“猖獗的；泛滥的”，英文解释为“If you describe something bad, such as a crime or disease, as rampant, you mean that it is very common and is increasing in an uncontrolled way.”举个🌰：

He said that he had encountered rampant prejudice in his attempts to get a job.

他说他在找工作时，四处遭遇歧视。

Japan can't force Lebanon to send Ghosn back, said Keith Henry, the founder and representative director of Asia Strategy, a research and policy firm based in Tokyo. The two countries have no extradition agreement.

"It is a bigger deal for [Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo] Abe and Japan than for Ghosn," Henry said. "No matter what they do now, it is very difficult to overcome the embarrassment of letting go one of the most high-profile suspects" of corporate scandal since Japan's economic boom that followed World War II.

high-profile

表示“引人注目的”，英文解释为“A high-profile person or a high-profile event attracts a lot of attention or publicity.”如 ahigh-profile criminal defence lawyer 备受关注的刑事辩护律师。

补充：

profile作名词的另一个含义，表示“（有关某人的）简介，概况”，英文解释为“A profile of someone is a short article or programme in which their life and character are described.”举个🌰：

A newspaper published comparative profiles of the candidates' wives.

一份报纸刊登了候选人妻子们的对比简介。

如果你把微信语言设置成英文，你就会发现微信官方把头像处理成：Profile Photo，上面的“My Profile”对应的中文则是“个人信息”。
