The sentence is the first handed down in Japan in the Nissan saga, which began with former auto tycoon Carlos Ghosn's shock arrest in Japan in 2018 on financial misconduct allegations.
A Japan court has sentenced an American father-son duo who helped former Nissan chief Carlos Ghosn flee the country to between 20 months and two years in prison.
Former US special forces operative Michael Taylor on Monday was sentenced to two years, while his son Peter received a sentence of 20 months.
The Taylors did not contest the allegations against them, admitting their role in the audacious escape that left Ghosn an international fugitive in Lebanon.
They had been facing up to three years in prison over the escape, which US prosecutors described as "one of the most brazen and well-orchestrated escape acts in recent history".
