British Tiktoker Modou Adams arrested, as cocaine worth £300,000 was found in his suitcase
A British model and TikToker, Modou Adams, who paraded his jet-setting lifestyle on social media has been jailed in Peru for almost seven years after being caught trying to smuggle cocaine out of the country.
According to BBC, Adams was intercepted at the Jorge Chávez International Airport on 30 September with 2.9kg (6.4lb) of cocaine hidden in his suitcase.
The 25-year-old was sentenced to six years and eight months in a Peruvian prison. The drugs were destined for the United Kingdom, according to a court statement.
Authorities found the drugs sealed into the back of his suitcase during a search, the Superior Court of Justice of Callao said in the statement which was released last week.
He was sentenced after admitting the drug smuggling charge, the court said, and was also fined.
