I don't thinkthey've done enough. I don't think he's had enough support and he'scalling for assistance. As a French citizen, it should be a right," Carole Ghosn told the paper before boarding a flight in Tokyo.Ghosn was rearrested in Japan on Thursday on allegations that hebenefited from the use of part of 3.5 billion yen (31 milliondollars) paid by Nissan to an Omani dealer.Police confiscated Carole Ghosn's Lebanese passport in the dawn raidon their Tokyo apartment but failed to find her US passport.She said she had decided to leave and attempt to fight his casethrough human rights groups."I'm all alone here.
