Brit model in hellhole jail after 'being caught smuggling £200,000 of drugs'
An Onlyfans model from Nottinghamshire is now stuck in a Spanish jail. Clara Wilson was charged with a drug running offence after she arrived in Barcelona in January An Onlyfans model is stuck in a hellish jail after she was caught allegedly smuggling drugs worth up to £200,000 into Spain. Clara Wilson, 36, was charged with a drug running offence after more than 34 kilos of cannabis were found in her suitcase at Barcelona's El Prat airport. From Huthwaite, Notts, Clara was held as she departed a Qatar Airways flight from Doha on January 20. She is believed to have travelled from Barcelona from Bangkok with stopovers in India and Qatar. Clara is now remanded to a prison close to Barcelona after her arrest. No trial date has been set yet. An indictment shows public prosecutors have already demanded a four-year prison sentence and huge fine payment totalling £758,000 if she is convicted. The three-page indictment states: 'The accused woman was intercepted by the Civil Guard around 9pm on January 20 at Barcelona's El Prat airport after getting off a Qatar Airways flight. 'In two suitcases she had previously checked in, police found 60 vacuum-packed packages containing a green-coloured substance that tested positive for marihuana. The substance weighed 34,074 grams. A subsequent analysis by the National Toxicology Institute of a 55 gram sample of the substance confirmed it as cannabis.' Public prosecutors added in the document: 'The drugs were transported by the accused with the intention of selling it to third parties on the black market where its value would have been [£180,000].' Clara, one of the latest in a string of young women to end up in prisons around the world after being accused of drug trafficking, has also been warned an extra six months would be slapped on top of the four years in jail she could get if she fails to pay her fines. The time Wilson has already spent in custody would be taken off the prison sentence she receives if convicted. It is not yet clear how she intends pleading and whether she will try to strike a pre-trial plea bargain deal in the hope of getting more lenient treatment. Under Spanish law the British model can be held for up to two years in prison before she has to be bailed, but well-placed sources said they expected her to be tried later this year. It comes as Brits Bella May Culley, 18, Charlotte May Lee, 21, and Isabella Daggett, 21, are all facing lengthy prison sentences in harsh overseas prisons if they are convicted of drug smuggling. Bella, 18, was the first hit the headlines following her arrest in Georgia. She flew into the former Soviet state from Thailand on May 11. She faces a lengthy spell behind bars if found guilty — which could be life if she receives a severe sentence. Little is still known about how she came to be caught at Tblisi Airport after her family reported her missing in Thailand. Charlotte arrived in Sri Lanka again from Thailand on may 12, allegedly with a stash of cannabis in her luggage valued at £1.2million which she denied knowing anything about. She has been in custody since she was arrested at Bandaranaike Airport. Isabella Daggett, 21, is another alleged drug mule who is being held in a hellhole Dubai prison where she has not been able to shower or change clothes. Her case has been highlighted by her family after she was arrested in March, just five weeks after moving to the United Arab Emirates for work. She was working for a businessman doing internet recruiting for construction sites in the UK and he offered to send her to the Middle East for a similar role. But police in Dubai allegedly arrested her along with another man not long after she arrived in Dubai. Her family insist she was taken by police simply for being 'in the wrong place at the wrong time' and has never used drugs. And she has not taken a shower or even changed her clothes in months after being banged up in a prison in March, her family claims. Her grandmother Heather Smith told the DailyMail:"She was arrested with a lad, who was not her boyfriend, with whom she was staying because things had fallen through with another house. She didn't really like him that much. He may be guilty of something, but she isn't. We told Bella before she went to Dubai, 'you know the rules in Dubai, play by the rules, don't flaunt this, don't do that' All three women deny the charges against them.

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.
