Carlos Ghosn: US father and son extradited to Japan - BBC News

An American father and son have been handed over to Japanese authorities for allegedly helping former Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn flee the country.

The two were charged last year with helping Mr Ghosn flee Japan, hidden in a box and on a private jet.

Prosecutors said the pair received $1.3m (£936,000) to help Mr Ghosn escape Japan on 29 December, 2019.

He once ran American International Security Corporation, a private military contractor that focused on helping people escape difficult situations overseas.

Japanese broadcaster NHK reported that CCTV footage showed Mr Ghosn leaving his house and walking about to a nearby hotel, where he joined two other men.

Last month, a Turkish court convicted an executive of Turkish jet company MNG and two pilots over their role in flying Mr Ghosn out of Japan.

After his escape, Mr Ghosn held a press conference in Lebanon, in which he denied charges of financial wrongdoing in Japan, claiming the country's justice system was "rigged".
