In April 2019, Carlos Ghosn, former CEO of Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi, managed to escape from Japan. Now two of his helpers have been convicted.
Two Americans who helped former car boss Carlos Ghosn to make his spectacular escape from Japan are sent to prison in Japan. The Tokyo District Court sentenced 60-year-old former elite soldier Michael Taylor to two years in prison.
His son Peter (28) has to be behind bars for a year and eight months. The two had pleaded guilty and apologized. Her defense had called for suspended sentences. They had been accused of hiding Ghosn in a box labeled as musical instruments and taking them out of the country by private jet – knowing that doing so would violate Ghosn’s bail conditions.
The former CEO of the Franco-Japanese car alliance Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi was arrested and charged on November 19, 2018 in Tokyo, among other things, for violating stock market requirements. In April 2019, he was released from custody on bail under strict conditions. He fled to Lebanon in December with the help of the Americans. In addition to French, Ghosn also has Lebanese and Brazilian citizenship. Japan has no extradition treaty with Lebanon.
