Former US special forces soldier Michael Taylor and his son Peter Taylor are charged in the bizarre plot to smuggle the ousted Nissan CEO out of Japan in December.

Ghosn had been out on bail while awaiting trial for allegedly under-reporting $80 million in compensation earnings and siphoning off company cash for his own use.

Court papers announcing the Taylors’ arrest and details of their alleged crimes were unsealed in Massachusetts federal court on Wednesday.

The father and son, who live in Harvard, Mass., will appear via video for a court hearing Wednesday afternoon.
