Colombian model and beauty queen Angie Sanclemente Valencia ran from Argentine police for five months before being arrested in 2010. Now 38 years old, Valencia smuggled large amounts of cocaine from Argentina to Cancun and often persuaded other young, beautiful women to help her traffic the drugs.
She drew attention to herself when she boarded a flight first class with a Pomeranian dog in her lap. Once arrested by police El Tiempo Columbian newspaper reported that she pleaded, “I feel great anguish and desperation. I can’t rest, I’m very sad that the Argentines have treated me so badly, wiping away the trash with me. I don’t deserve this.”
The DEA began investigating Marllory Dadiana Chacon Rossell in 2008 for leading one of the biggest drug trafficking rings in Central America. She was responsible for delivering and distributing multiple tons of cocaine headed for the United States. She was also an expert in money laundering and reportedly moved tens of millions of dollars every month. Chacon Rossell launched Bingoton Milionario, a privately run lottery, in order to hide the enormous amount of money she brought in. Her actions drew the attention of the United States Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Then she confessed.
