Ghosn was twice put behind bars in Japan after being charged, then managed to be released on house arrest.Ghosn was being kept at this house in Tokyo under what was supposed to be strict security. But realizing his minders left when the press arrived, he held a bogus press availability — then fled.. Japanese authorities arrested Ghosn on November 19, 2018, at a Tokyo airport, as he attempted to enter the country.
Of the escape plan, Taylor said in the documentary, “I needed to find vulnerabilities. I looked at what I could use as a benefit and what could go wrong. If we were going to take him to Lebanon, there were two ways out: by land or sea. But it was December and the seas were rough.” On December 29, 2019, Taylor landed in Osaka, on a flight from the US. He had custom-made musical-instrument boxes in tow.
Aided by Taylor’s son, Peter, Ghosn was transported to Osaka’s private airport. To make things look good, Mike Taylor placed a guitar on top of the case with Ghosn in it. Before long, though, word got out that Ghosn was there. He held a press conference and declared, “I did not escape justice. I escaped injustice.”After fleeing to Lebanon, Ghosn spoke with members of the media, including the crew that put together “Wanted.”Ghosn had no intention of leaving Lebanon. The Taylors, though, returned to America and, to their surprise, gotMike and Peter entered guilty pleas, receiving two years and 20 months, respectively.
