Ghosn escaped from Japan [ever / even] though the police had his [free / three] passports. Japan's justice minister, Masako Mori, said Japan would [stronger / strengthen] its border departure checks. She also said she would review bail conditions. Ms Mori told reporters that she has already [taking / taken] actions to prevent anyone else on bail [leaving / leave] the country. She said: "I have instructed the immigration agency to further [tighten / tight] the departure process."

It is still [clearly / unclear] how Mr Ghosn escaped from Japan. There were security cameras at his home that [operations / operated] for 24 hours a day.
