A glamorous influencer is "on the run" after being accused of running a drug ring. Melissa Said, 23, is accused of running a cannabis distribution and money laundering ring.
Said, who regularly posed in bikinis on social media for her 341,000 followers, was targeted by police as the main suspect in the drug ring. Three suspected accomplices were arrested during searches of five properties linked to Said.
Authorities seized electronic devices, cash and found evidence of numerous suspicious financial transactions as part of the ongoing Operation Erva Afetiva. However, the seductive model was nowhere to be found.
The suspects are alleged to have stored, sold and distributed cannabis throughout the state of Bahia, northeast of Brasilia, Brazil. Their suppliers were reportedly in the states of Bahia and São Paulo.
Hernandez Jr., director of the State Department for the Prevention and Suppression of Drug Trafficking (DENARC), said that “the objective of this operation is the fight against drug trafficking, with the main target being a digital influencer who promotes crime.
"It was discovered that in addition to promoting crime and drug use, she also sells and distributes narcotics in Bahia, with some people from São Paulo as one of her suppliers," he said.
Temporary arrest and search warrants were issued for many properties in Salvador and Lauro de Freitas, as well as in the municipalities of São Paulo and Araçatuba in São Paulo.
She is known for her activism in support of cannabis legalization. The move comes after a dramatic increase in the number of young British women caught in drug smuggling operations.
One of the most famous cases is that of Bella May Culley. Efforts to free the pregnant teenager held for months in a Soviet-era prison have failed after friends and family failed to raise the staggering sum of £215,000. Relatives of suspected drug trafficker Bella Culley have been desperately trying to raise enough money to buy her freedom from the Georgia prison where she is being held.
She now faces the prospect of giving birth to her son in Tbilisi Women's Prison No. 5, where she faces 20 years in prison. She was arrested and detained in May with £200,000 worth of drugs in the country after a flight from Thailand.
Judge Giorgi Gelashvili today gave the family three weeks to raise the money for the plea deal or face jail time, according to The Sun. Bella's parents have been desperately trying to borrow money but admitted they have been unable to get it. They now have until October 28 to find the money before the judge hands down the sentence on November 2.
