OnlyFans model, 36, 'caught trying to smuggle nearly £200k worth of Thai cannabis into Spain' - seeing her name added to an ever growing list of British women 'becoming mules'
A glamorous OnlyFans model was allegedly found trying to smuggle around £200,000 of Thai cannabis into Spain.
Clara Wilson, 36, has been charged with drug offences after '60 vacuum-packed packages' of cannabis was found in her two suitcases at El Prat airport in Barcelona.
The mother-of-four from Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, was held by the Civil Guard on January 20 after departing a Qatar Airways flight from Doha.
It is believed she jetted to the Mediterranean capital from Bangkok with stops in both India and Qatar.
The unemployed parent now faces four years behind bars and potential fines of over £750,000 if she is found guilty.
It comes amid a recent string of British women who have been arrested for smuggle drugs to foreign countries in recent weeks.
Two days after Ms Wilson's arrest, she was taken into custody at a prison near Barcelona where she awaits a trial, for which a date has not been set.
According to The Sun, a three page indictment described Ms Wilson's arrest in El Prat airport.
It said 'police found 60 vacuum-packed packages containing a green-coloured substance that tested positive for marijuana. The substance weighed 34,074 grams,' in suitcases the mother of four had previously checked in.
It added: 'A subsequent analysis by the National Toxicology Institute of a 55 gram sample of the substance confirmed it as cannabis.'
Public prosecutors claimed in the document that the drugs were being shipped by Ms Wilson with 'the intention of selling it to third parties on the black market'. They said its value would have been €213,991 (£180,820.26).
MailOnline has approached the Foreign Office for comment.
Ms Wilson's arrest is the latest in a recent string of British female smugglers who have been caught illegally transporting drugs worth thousands of pounds.
Bella May Culley, 18, sparked a massive international search operation in recent days after she was reported missing while she was believed to be holidaying in Thailand.
However it was later revealed the teen, from Billingham, County Durham, had been arrested 4,000 miles away on drug offences in Georgia.
Culley had allegedly being caught carrying 30 pounds (14kg) of cannabis into the ex-Soviet nation after she was flagged during a scanner check at Tbilisi International Airport.
She previously spoke to MailOnline where she admitted that she had not been eating because the food was too spicy
She was traveling around the Philippines and Thailand before she boarded the flight to Georgia from Bangkok, and has claimed in court that she is pregnant.
Culley has also confided in legal sources that she was in love with a mystery man who now forms a central part of the investigation.
Elsewhere in Colombo, Sri Lanka, Charlotte May Lee, 21, from Coulsdon, south London, was arrested after police allegedly discovered 46 kg of 'Kush' - a synthetic strain of cannabis - in her suitcase.
She is facing up to 25 years locked in a hellhole Sri Lankan jail - but she has insisted she has been set up.
She previously spoke to MailOnline where she admitted that she had not been eating because the food was too spicy.

UN calls for probe into mass graves at Libya detention centres
GENEVA, June 4 (Reuters) - The United Nations rights office called on Wednesday for a independent investigation into the discovery of mass graves at detention centres in Libya's capital Tripoli. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights said it was "shocked" by gross human rights violations uncovered at official and unofficial detention facilities run by the Stability Support Apparatus, a security institution. It was established to uphold the rule of law and falls under the Presidential Council that came to power in 2021 with the Government of National Unity of Abdulhamid Dbeibah through a U.N.-backed process. But Libya, a major oil producer in the Mediterranean, has known little law and order since a 2011 NATO-backed uprising that toppled dictator Muammar al-Gaddafi and eventually divided the country between warring eastern and western factions. The OHCHR said the discovery of dozens of bodies and suspected instruments of torture and abuse confirmed longstanding findings by the U.N. that human rights violations were committed at such sites. "We call on the Libyan authorities to conduct independent, impartial and transparent investigations into these discoveries," OHCHR said in a statement. It urged the authorities to preserve evidence and grant Libya's forensic teams, as well as the United Nations, full access to the sites. Outright war fighting in Libya abated with a ceasefire in 2020 but efforts to end the political crisis have failed, with major factions occasionally joining forces in armed clashes and competing for control over Libya's substantial energy resources. Armed clashes erupted on Monday evening and gunfire echoed in the centre and other parts of Tripoli following reports that the commander of one of its most powerful armed groups had been killed, three residents told Reuters by phone.
