Czech model weeps after she is sentenced to 8 years in Pakistan for trying to smuggle heroin worth $1.3 million
22-year-old Czech model Tereza Hluskova cried as she was given her sentence in the city of Lahore. She insisted she had no knowledge how the drugs came into her luggage.
A Czech model was seen breaking down in tears on March 20 as she was being sentenced to eight years in prison in Pakistan after she tried to smuggle a little more than $1.3 million worth of heroin into Ireland. 22-year-old Czech model Tereza Hluskova cried as she was given her sentence in the city of Lahore. The court said that the model was arrested in possession of 19lbs (8.5kgs) of heroin in January last year at the Lahore airport.
The court said that from there, she was supposed to go to Ireland through Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The Daily Mail reported that since she was arrested, Hluskova told the investigators that she went to Pakistan to work as a model but that someone put the large amount of narcotics into her luggage.
