The private jets that transported Carlos Ghosn from Japan to Lebanon were deployed illegally using falsified records that didn’t mention the former Nissan Motor Co. executive as a passenger, the aircraft’s operator said.

MNG Jet Havacilik AS said in a statement that it filed a criminal complaint on Jan. 1 about what it said amounted to “the illegal use of its jet charter services.” One company employee, who is being investigated by authorities, has admitted to fabricating records and acted alone, MNG said.
