He replied yes when the prosecutor asked whether he believed Ghosn should have stayed in Japan. Extradited to Japan from the United States in March, they are being detained at the same jail in Tokyo where Ghosn was held, and face up to three years in prison. He added that he felt sympathy for Ghosn and his wife Carole after they told him Ghosn could be held in Japan for up to 15 years. Asked by prosecutors if he had been treated badly in Japan, Taylor said the prosecutor who questioned him after his arrest was "respectable and honourable". Greg Kelly, a former Nissan executive charged with helping Ghosn hide his compensation, is also standing trial in Tokyo.
