Two people involved in Ghosn's escape October 30, 5:30, approved by the U.S. Department of State
It turns out that the US State Department has approved the delivery of two Americans arrested on suspicion of helping the escape in the case of Carlos Ghosn, the former chairman of Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., fleeing to Lebanon in the Middle East. It was.
However, as the defense has challenged this, the procedure has been suspended and the timing of the transfer is unclear.
In May, U.S. law enforcement officials helped Michael Taylor and his son Peter Taylor, who live in eastern Massachusetts, escape after Carlos Ghosn fled to Lebanon. I was arrested on suspicion of doing so.
The Japanese side requested the U.S. side to hand over the two under the treaty on the handing over of the suspect, and a local federal court approved this in September, but the final decision. The US State Department, which had been entrusted with the matter, approved the delivery on the 27th of this month, according to a document released by the court.
The two were scheduled to be transferred to Japan on the 29th, but the defense has filed an objection to this and the court has accepted it, so the procedure has been suspended and the timing of the transfer is unclear.
