Japan Charges Mass. Men With Helping Ghosn Flee, Jump Bail - WBUR

Japanese prosecutors charged two Americans, Michael Taylor and his son Peter, Monday in the escape of former Nissan Chairman Carlos Ghosn to Lebanon, while he was out on bail.
Prosecutors said the Taylors were formally charged with helping a criminal escape, although dates and other details of a trial were undecided.
Tokyo Deputy Chief Prosecutor Hiroshi Yamamoto said Monday was the last day the Taylors could have been detained without charges under Japanese law.
Japan has put Ghosn on Interpol’s wanted list, but Lebanon has no extradition treaty with Japan.
Peter Taylor, 28, is accused of meeting with Ghosn and helping his father carry out the escape.
