Tribunal: Flight Was Private, Pilots On Hook for Cargo
Falcon 50 was parked on a apron dedicated for private flights when cocaine-laden bags were found on board.

More details are emerging on the charges a Dominican prosecutor has pressed against Bruno Odos and Pascal Fauret, the two pilots convicted in the so-called “Air Cocaine” case. The 400-page judgment provides insight into why the tribunal decided to consider the Falcon’s flight private rather than commercial, a decision that leaves the pilots liable for the cargo. The crew of a commercial flight bears no such responsibility.
