"Air Cocaine" defendant to remain in Dominican Republic Nicolas Pisapia, one of four French men convicted in the Dominican Republic on charges of trafficking cocaine, said that he remained confident he would not be sent back to prison, even after two of his co-defendants escaped to France. The two French pilots given 20-year jail sentences in the Dominican Republic for cocaine-trafficking slipped out of the country and went home "to clear their names", one of them said Tuesday, but the Caribbean nation said it will seek their re-arrest.
