Surveillance camera footage submitted to a US court indicates that one of the two men who were arrested on suspicion of helping former Nissan chairman Carlos Ghosn escape from Japan met with his daughter at a Tokyo hotel on the day of the escape.

Tokyo prosecutors have arrested 60-year-old former US Green Beret Michael Taylor and his 28-year-old son Peter Taylor on March 2. They are suspected helping Ghosn flee to Lebanon in December 2019.

The footage shows Peter Taylor receiving baggage from Ghosn's daughter, Maya, in the parking lot of a luxury Tokyo hotel.

He is believed to have then gone to a room in the hotel, where he joined Ghosn and Michael Taylor. Ghosn is believed to have changed clothes, then traveled with the men to Osaka by Shinkansen bullet train, leaving the country by private jet from Kansai Airport.

Sources say the Taylors have admitted charges, and told prosecutors they were asked to help by Ghosn's wife Carole, who faces an arrest warrant for perjury.

Prosecutors suspect Ghosn's family members were involved in his escape. Prosecutors are believed to be set to indict the Taylors when their period of detention expires on Monday.

A spokesperson for Ghosn's family lawyer told NHK that he cannot comment on whether a family member made contact with the younger Taylor.
