A British woman who is a content creator on OnlyFans has been imprisoned in a foreign country after attempting to smuggle drugs valued at £200,000 to a popular vacation destination. Clara Wilson, 36, was apprehended at the El Prat airport in Barcelona with over 34 kilograms of cannabis concealed in her luggage. Wilson, originally from Huthwaite, Nottinghamshire, had flown from Thailand to Spain before her arrest. Initially, she was detained at a local jail by an investigative judge, but the public prosecutors sought a four-year imprisonment term and a fine exceeding £750,000 in March.
Recently, it was revealed that the OnlyFans model admitted guilt as part of a plea agreement, which offered her a more lenient punishment prior to her full trial. Wilson was taken into custody at El Prat airport in the capital of Catalonia upon arrival from Bangkok. Law enforcement found 60 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green substance weighing 34,074 grams, which tested positive for marijuana.
In a pre-trial indictment, public prosecutors stated, “The accused transported the drugs with the intent to sell them on the black market, where their value would have been €213,991.” Clara, joining a series of young British women involved in drug-related incidents at airports recently, accepted a three-year prison sentence and a fine equivalent to the estimated worth of the cannabis she attempted to smuggle into Spain.
The British model has been cautioned that failing to pay her six-figure fine will result in an additional two months of imprisonment. Any time served by her in Brians 1 Prison near Barcelona will be factored into determining the extra jail time post-sentence. While her defense attorney sought a suspended sentence, a state prosecutor opposed the request, deferring the decision to a later date at Barcelona’s Criminal Court Number 23.
Several Britons traveling from Thailand have been apprehended with drugs in the past months. For instance, Bella Culley, 19, who is six months pregnant, was arrested in Georgia for allegedly bringing drugs into the country earlier this year. Culley went missing in Thailand before being arrested at Tbilisi International Airport in May. Marijuana and hashish were reportedly discovered in her luggage. A plea deal could potentially lead to her release upon payment of a substantial fine, the amount of which would impact the duration of any potential jail time.
