Paris court sentences Saudi drug jet ring
2003-10-01
A Colombian and four Frenchmen Tuesday received prison terms ranging from one to eight years for their involvement in a vast cocaine trafficking network in which a Saudi prince has also been implicated. Frenchman Didier Dubreucq, 48, was handed the stiffest sentence - eight years - for having received two tonnes of cocaine at Le Bourget airport outside Paris in May 1999. The cocaine was on a plane belonging to a Saudi prince, Nayef ben Sultan ben Fawwaz Al-Shaalan. The prince was indicted by a court in Miami in July 2002 for involvement in cocaine trafficking, and is the subject of an international arrest warrant issued by a judge in Bobigny outside Paris. The court Tuesday also sentenced Gustavo Guarin Gonfrier, 42, a Colombian chemical engineer, to four and a half years in prison.

#1  Nice way to raise large amounts of untracable cash, bet they thought no one would look too close at a Saudi plane.
