Lingerie model runs one of world's largest drug gangs
Angie Sanselmente Valencia, a former lingerie model, is believed to be heading one of the world's largest drug gangs.
An international arrest warrant has been issued for the 30-year-old, who is suspected of recruiting beautiful women and using them to move drugs to Europe and North America.
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.
They tried to trace her via her Pomeranian lapdog but found it registered to a disused warehouse. Her drug runners were paid £1,300 to board flights from Colombia to Cancun, Mexico, with bags of cocaine every 24 hours, according to The Sun. The drugs were then trafficked to Europe. Valencia was crowned Columbia's "Queen of Coffee" in 2000 and is said to have split from a Mexican drug baron nicknamed The Monster to rival his empire.
There's lots of great stuff here: The Zoolander-esque plot, trying to trace her via the dog, "The Monster", but the best part is 55kg(!). I can't even begin to imagine what that was being carted around in.
She can use a katana and automatic weapons, right?
Oh -- and she's probably a hacker, too.
God who's writing this shit? What a Mary Sue!
...the more it seems like I'm living in a Gibson novel.
This scares me.
really? that makes me excited !
[obligatory "duck in the face" reference]
dammit, why didn't i think of this??
Maybe because it starts with
a) Money and
b) knowing lots of cover girls. ;-)
I read the last sentence wrong and thought it said "...split from a Mexican drug monster named The Baron to rival his empire." which would have been SO much cooler.
I swear, Michael Westen used this cover just last week.
