米国務省、日本への引き渡し承認　ゴーン被告逃亡に関与の親子

　【ニューヨーク時事】日産自動車の前会長カルロス・ゴーン被告が保釈中にレバノンに逃亡した事件で、逃亡を手助けしたとして米国で拘束中の容疑者の親子について、国務省は日本への身柄引き渡しを承認した。容疑者側は、移送は「恣意（しい）的で違法だ」として差し止めを申請。東部ボストンの連邦裁判所は２９日、判断を下すまで移送の差し止めを命じた。
　親子は元米陸軍特殊部隊員マイケル・テイラー容疑者と息子のピーター容疑者で、東京地検の要請で米当局が５月に身柄を拘束していた。東京地検は米国との犯罪人引き渡し条約に基づき引き渡しを請求。連邦裁判所は９月４日、日本への引き渡しを認める決定を出していた。（2020/10/30-07:50）

The U.S. Department of State has approved Japan's request to turn over two men detained in the United States for allegedly assisting former Nissan Motor Co. Chairman Carlos Ghosn's escape to Lebanon.
   The defense team of the two, Michael Taylor, a former U.S. Army special forces soldier, and his son, Peter, has sought an injunction against the extradition approval, saying that the decision is arbitrary and illegal.
   A federal court in Boston on Friday issued an order to suspend the transfer until the court rules on the appeal.
   The Taylors are accused of helping Ghosn flee to Lebanon from Japan late last year while he was out on bail awaiting trial over his alleged financial misconduct.
   U.S. authorities detained the two in May at the request of the Tokyo District Public Prosecutors Office. The Japanese prosecutors filed the handover request based on the Japan-U.S. treaty on the extradition of criminals.
