I really doubt you could pull this off in Japan with bribes: there are way too many parties involved and way too much public scrunity. Sneaking out of the country seems much more plausible.

Sneaking out of an island country while under state surveillance generally requires greasing a few palms. Not necessarily to knowingly co-operate. But to look the other way.

  Do you have personal experience or knowledge of island country escapes on which you're basing this claim? Would you mind sharing your sources?

    > Would you mind sharing your sources? Simply getting through immigration and customs requires (a) gambling you get a distracted agent or (b) paying a bribe. Given the consequences with (a), it's not surprising that pretty much every fugitive-by-air account features bribes. There are many more steps that are tightly watched in getting on an international flight, even one privately chartered, particularly out of Japan.
