Two Americans have been arrested for their alleged role in the daring escape of ex-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn from Japan while he awaited trial for financial wrongdoing.

Federal prosecutors in Massachusetts said former Green Beret Peter Taylor, 59, and his son, Michael Taylor, 26, helped smuggle Mr Ghosn in a musical audio equipment case to his childhood home of Lebanon.

More details of the daring escape in a large black box aboard a private jet were first revealed in court documents posted to Twitter by Seamus Hughes, from the Program on Extremism at George Washington University.
