A British OnlyFans model has been jailed for three years after admitting she tried to smuggle nearly £200,000 worth of drugs into Spain. Clara Wilson, from Huthwaite, Notts, was arrested at Barcelona’s El Prat airport after travelling from Thailand with more than 34 kilos of cannabis in her suitcase.
The 36-year-old model was remanded to a local prison by an investigating judge and learnt in March that public prosecutors wanted her jailed for four years and fined more than £750,000 after being charged. On Saturday (October 11), it emerged she accepted a plea bargain deal after being offered a more lenient sentence ahead of her full trial. Wilson accepted a three-year prison sentence and a fine matching the estimated value of the Class B drug she tried to smuggle into Spain of £185,000.
Her defence lawyer, Yaiza Garcia, told Barcelona’s Criminal Court Number 23 that she wanted the sentence suspended, but a state prosecutor opposed the application, and a decision was postponed to a later date. Wilson was arrested at the Catalan capital’s El Prat airport as she got off a flight from Bangkok.
Police held her after finding 60-vacuum packed packages containing a green-coloured substance weighing 34,074 grams that tested positive for marihuana.
Public prosecutors said in an indictment drafted before her trial: “The drugs were transported by the accused with the intention of selling it to third parties on the black market where its value would have been €213,991”.
The British model has been warned she will be jailed for another two months if she fails to pay her six-figure fine. The time she has already served in Brians 1 Prison near Barcelona would be taken into account in determining her extra jail time after sentence.
