Argentine pilots nabbed in Spain on drug charges - Fox News Latino: "Spain's Civil Guard arrested in Barcelona's El Prat airport the two pilots of a private Argentine medical transport airplane carrying a shipment of more than 900 kilograms of cocaine, sources close to the investigation told Efe.

The aircraft, which was operated by the Argentine medical transport firm Medical Jet, arrived several days ago from Cape Verde, a country on the African coast where, apparently, the drug was loaded.

In addition to the two pilots, who are both of Argentine nationality, Spanish law enforcement personnel arrested a third person of as yet unreported nationality who was traveling in the plane.

Argentine online media outlets reported Thursday that the two pilots under arrest are Gustavo Julia - one of the main shareholders in the company - and his copilot Gaston Miret.

Julia is the son of the former head of the Argentine air force, retired Brig. Gen. Jose Julia."
