Colombian model jailed for drug smuggling
    2016-July-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    A COLOMBIAN beauty queen has been convicted of drug smuggling and sentenced to 15 years in jail by a Chinese court.

    Juliana Lopez Sarrazola, 23, was caught with a laptop stuffed with 610 grams of cocaine at an airport in Guangzhou in July last year, the Yangcheng Evening News reported.

    She was sentenced to 15 years in prison Monday and will be expelled from the country once the term is served, according to the report, which described her as a model.

    Videos posted online show Sarrazola seeking a place in the 2014-15 Senorita Antioquia beauty contest, the winner of which gets the chance to represent Colombia at Miss World.

    Sarrazola said she agreed to carry the drugs for a Colombian drug dealer, identified only as Sergio in the report, because she wanted to borrow money from him to attend the Miss World pageant, the newspaper said.

    Her air tickets and hotel were paid for and she was given US$776 in cash. The drug dealer agreed to reward her with a further US$2,500 if the scheme went through, it said. The final of Miss World 2015 was held in Sanya in Hainan.
