TOKYO, June 14, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – An American father-son duo accused of packing former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn into an audio equipment case so he could escape trial in Japan will appear in a Tokyo court for the first time Monday.
While Ghosn is an internationally wanted fugitive now living in Lebanon after the 2019 escape, former US Army Green Beret Michael Taylor and his son Peter have been extradited from the United States to Japan and will appear at the Tokyo District Court on Monday afternoon.
The two men face up to three years in prison if convicted of putting together the audacious escape of the one-time auto tycoon, whose 2018 arrest in Tokyo on financial misconduct charges made headlines around the world.
