Egypt 'to extradite' Frenchman to Dominican Republic over drugs case
27 February 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
Egypt will extradite a Frenchman to the Dominican Republic for allegedly aiding the escape of two pilots sentenced in a drugs case, his wife has said.
Christophe Naudin, a criminologist and aviation security expert, was arrested in Cairo earlier in February.
A judge in the Dominican Republic had issued arrest warrants for him and two others in December.
The pilots were arrested in 2013 preparing to take off in a plane carrying 26 suitcases of cocaine.
They were sentenced to 20 years in prison but during the appeal process fled to the French Antilles and then on to France.
