Venezuelan sculptress jailed for transporting cocaine

A budding Venezuelan sculptress has been jailed for seven years for transporting nearly 2kg of cocaine packed in hairspray cans into Ireland.

Judge Desmond Hogan suspended the final two years of Adriana Forero’s sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court considering she was "a courier and a courier only" and given her "traumatic" personal history in which her 28-year-old Venezuelan soap-star son was conceived during rape.
