Carlos Ghosn: US ex-Green Beret and son arrested over escape from Japan
Former Green Beret Michael Taylor, 59, and his son Peter, 26,
were detained in Massachusetts on Wednesday.
Japanese prosecutors issued warrants for their arrest in January.
Mr Ghosn, who was detained in Japan on charges of financial misconduct in 2018, made a dramatic escape from house arrest last year.
He denies the charges against him.

US authorities
have arrested two Americans for their alleged role in smuggling former Nissan Motor Chairman Carlos Ghosn to Lebanon from Japan.
Ghosn fled Japan on a private jet via Turkey late December last year while on bail.
Tokyo prosecutors
in January obtained arrest warrants for former US Green Beret Michael Taylor and his son Peter Taylor. They were arrested in Massachusetts on Wednesday.
