Beautiful women , drug trafficking, and an international manhunt (womanhunt?) of a lingerie model - I would be surprised if Hollywood doesn't have a movie in the works already.
Police is looking for Angie Sanselmente Valencia, a former lingerie model turned drug queenpin:
Many of these women are believed to be other lingerie and glamour models who compete in international beauty pageants, whom Valencia describes as "unsuspicious, beautiful angels".
She is thought to be on the run somewhere in either Mexico or Argentina. Her drug syndicate was exposed in December last year after a 21-year-old blew the whistle after being caught with 55kg of cocaine at Buenos Aires airport.
Investigators believe the beauty pageant winner quit modelling and left her native Colombia for Argentina to set up the empire last year.
It's the same if it's a plea bargain. I always loved that form of CYA (cover your ass) insurance for criminals. Why bag a pawn when you can out the person at the top or at least higher on the chain.

Rule of smuggling is "in for a penny, in for a pound". Dogs can find an eight-ball just as easy as 120 pounds but a 120 pound suitcase is a bit of red flag so that sounds suspicious. Maybe the scam had someone in baggage adding the drugs so she'd only have to pick it up and leave instead of check it in.
