The father-and-son duo accused of helping former Nissan Motor Co. chief executive officer Carlos Ghosn flee criminal charges in Japan must remain in custody while they fight extradition after two U.S. judges denied them bail.
Former Green Beret Michael Taylor and his son Peter were arrested in Massachusetts in May at the request of the Japanese government. U.S. prosecutors argued that the Taylors should stay in custody, pointing out that the two allegedly helped carry out one of the “most brazen and well-orchestrated escape acts in recent history.”
