Former special forces operative Michael Taylor and his son Peter were extradited to Japan earlier this year. TOKYO: Japanese prosecutors said on Friday they are seeking jail sentences of nearly three years for an American father-son duo who admit helping former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn jump bail and flee Japan.
"Michael Taylor... played a leading role. His responsibility is extremely grave," one of the prosecutors said on Friday, calling it a"sophisticated and bold crime".The Taylors, who were extradited to Tokyo earlier this year, listened to an English translation of the comments through headphones, both dressed in smart jackets and shirts with no tie.
US prosecutors called it"one of the most brazen and well-orchestrated escape acts in recent history".
