Beauty queens play rising role in international cocaine world
El Nuevo Herald ^ | March 29, 2010 | Gerardo Reyes and Gonzalo Guillen

Posted on 03/29/2010 7:03:52 AM PDT by ConservativeStatement

Wanted: A Colombian woman with long hair, thick lips and honey-colored eyes, 30 years old, with surgically enhanced breasts and a redone nose. She likes Spider-Man and recites the poetry of Pablo Neruda.

With this and other information, police in Argentina are looking for Angie Jeaneth Sanclemente Valencia, a dethroned Colombian beauty queen and lingerie model who, according to authorities, led a band of beautiful women who transported cocaine from Buenos Aires into several European countries.

Figuring that beauty distracts from suspicion, Sanclemente recruited in Argentina "pretty and discreet young women" willing to travel with several kilos of cocaine in their luggage to Spain via Cancún, Mexico. Payment for the trip: $5,000.

On Saturday, former Argentine judge Guillermo Tiscornia, who said he is the attorney for Sanclemente, told Radio Mitre his client is not a drug queenpin. He add that Sanclemente doesn't want to surrender because "she is afraid of being raped in jail," the Buenos Aires daily paper La Nación reported.

The network of model-mules was discovered at the beginning of December 2009, after Argentine authorities found 55 kilos of cocaine in the suitcase of an attractive young woman who owned a Pomeranian puppy and was traveling first-class to Cancún.

Unfortunately, it does. My Daddy told me that God gave man enough blood circulation to supply either their brain or their penis, but never both at the same time,

55 kilos of cocaine in the suitcase

The weight alone, for one suitcase, is suspicious.

Party foul for not including pics... and a Google search of "colombian models" is surprisingly disappointing. Here's one of the better results, from the third page...

...surgically enhanced breasts and a redone nose...

Dampens any enthusiasm I would have had for pics.

Wasn't this the plot of an Andy Sidaris movie?

Sidaris was best known for his Bullets, Bombs, and Babes series of B-movies produced between 1985 and 1998. These films featured a rotating "stock company" of actors mostly made up of Playboy Playmates and Penthouse "Pets", including Julie Strain, Dona Speir, Hope Marie Carlton, Cynthia Brimhall, Roberta Vasquez, Julie K. Smith, Shae Marks, and Wendy Hamilton. Several of his films were done wholly or largely in Shreveport using many local actors or actors with local ties.

Before the B-movies, Sidaris was a pioneer in sports television. He directed coverage of hundreds of football and basketball games, Olympic events, and special programs and won seven Emmy awards for his work in the field. His best known work was with ABC's Wide World of Sports; he was the show's first director, and continued in that post for 25 years.

I’m sure Bill Clinton is connected to all of this somehow...

If you see the suspect, seize her immediately. Call the authorities when you can.

Pablo Neruda is a marxist poet, yes?

Sounds like she changed her name to Julie Banderas and went to work for Fox News.

Housing and nature (country homes in the Soviet Union around the Black Sea) . . . one of the few nice things left in a socialist country, since even communists have a difficult time destroying all the natural places of beauty.

That’s because her hotness makes her the Judge and Jury.

Of course I will be the judge of that and while I demand more evidence I am inclined to acquit her and declare her NOT GUILTY!

I am thinking I will interrogate her for 30 days and then consider whether or not I will call anyone.
