DOJ lawyers say bid by Special Forces vet and his son to stop extradition to Japan is ‘meritless’ | Army Times

Michael Taylor and Peter Taylor have been accused of helping former Nissan Motor Co. boss Carlos Ghosn sneak out of Japan while hidden in a box. The U.S. Department of State had agreed to extradite them, but their lawyers filed an emergency petition. Ghosn fled to Lebanon, which has no extradition treaty with Japan, claiming he would not have received a fair trial. The Taylors claim they cannot be extradited because what they are accused of is not considered a crime under Japan law.
