BOSTON (CN) Two Americans who helped celebrity auto executive Carlos Ghosn flee Japan in order to escape prosecution for financial crimes will be extradited to that country, the First Circuit ruled Thursday.
Ghosn escaped in December 2019 while out on bail in an operation reminiscent of an action movie. Michael Taylor, a former U.S. Army Special Forces soldier, snuck Ghosn out of the country on a private jet in a box labeled as audio equipment. The box slipped through customs unchecked because it was too large to fit into an x-ray machine.
