The US has arrested two men accused of helping Carlos Ghosn flee Japan last year, in the latest twist of the long-running legal saga surrounding the former Nissan chief executive.
Michael Taylor, 59, and his son, Peter Taylor, 27, are wanted by Japanese authorities for allegedly assisting in Mr Ghosn’s dramatic escape in December from Japan, where he was on bail awaiting trial on charges of financial crimes.
Mr Ghosn led Nissan for almost two decades before his arrest in 2018. He was accused, among other things, of misstating his compensation. He has denied any wrongdoing and denounced the charges as being part of a plot to oust him from the company.
