\n The father-son duo accused of helping Carlos Ghosn flee Tokyo is using a \u201cflawed\u201d interpretation of Japanese law in an attempt to avoid extradition, federal prosecutors say.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for ex-Green Beret Michael Taylor and his son Peter contend that the pair\u2019s alleged role in the ex-Nissan CEO\u2019s cinematic escape from Japan did not amount to an actual crime there.<\/p>\n

But US prosecutors on Tuesday said the allegations against the Taylors indeed qualify as a Japanese felony. They provided a declaration from a Tokyo prosecutor to back up their claim while authorities await Japan\u2019s formal request for the Taylors\u2019 extradition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe purported loophole through which the Taylors seek to evade justice simply does not exist,\u201d prosecutors wrote in a court filing.<\/p>\n

The feds also batted down the Taylors\u2019 argument that a flaw in the Japanese warrants for their arrests should protect them from extradition. Their lawyers argued last week that the warrants only accused them of a misdemeanor immigration violation that isn\u2019t covered by the US\u2019s extradition treaty with Japan.<\/p>\n

Tokyo authorities have confirmed that the warrants in fact accused the pair of \u201charboring of criminals\u201d \u2014 an offense covered by the treaty \u2014 as well as the immigration violation, according to US prosecutors.<\/p>\n

The feds stood by their argument that the Taylors should be jailed while awaiting extradition because they carried out such an elaborate plot to spring Ghosn from Tokyo. The pair allegedly ferried Ghosn inside a black audio equipment box for part of his journey to Lebanon, where he\u2019s been hiding out since late December.<\/p>\n

\u201cLogic dictates that the Taylors would go to even greater lengths to avoid their own prosecution,\u201d federal prosecutors said in the court filing.<\/p>\n

One of the Taylors\u2019 attorneys, Abbe David Lowell, said their lawyers are reviewing the feds\u2019 filing and \u201cwill respond soon thereafter.\u201d<\/p>\n

Japan has 45 days from the date of the Taylors\u2019 May 20 arrests to formally request their extradition. Japanese authorities have struggled to bring Ghosn back from Lebanon because the two countries do not have an extradition treaty. Ghosn has denied the criminal allegations against him and said he fled \u201cpersecution.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
