BOSTON (Reuters) - A federal judge on Thursday granted a last-minute request to stop the U.S. government from turning over to Japan two men accused of helping smuggle former Nissan Motor Co 7201.T Chairman Carlos Ghosn out of the country while he was awaiting trial on financial crimes.U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani in Boston granted a request by lawyers for U.S. Army Special Forces veteran Michael Taylor and his son, Peter Taylor, to delay the transfer shortly before the two men were set to be placed on a flight to Japan. The State Department informed them Wednesday it had approved Japan’s extradition request. Talwani put on hold their transfer while she reviewed the Taylors’ emergency petition challenging that decision. The department’s decision came after the Taylors lost an earlier court challenge to their potential extradition following their arrests in May
