[h=1]Peru drug arrests: Spanish police 'doubt' over women's claims[/h]The head of Ibiza's police investigation into drug trafficking claims against two UK women has cast doubt on claims they were coerced into trying to smuggle drugs out of Peru. Melissa Reid, from Lenzie near Glasgow, and Michaella McCollum, from Dungannon, both 20, are accused of trying to smuggle £1.5m worth of cocaine. The pair deny the claims, saying they were forced into it by a gang in Ibiza. But police said they had several opportunities to alert the authorities. First Sergeant Alberto Arean Varela, head of the anti-drug and organised crime police unit at the Guardia Civil in Ibiza, said the claims ran counter to his knowledge of trafficking cases."Sincerely, with my experience, I don't think these girls were forced to do this," he told the BBC. "Because, particularly when you go to South America, you need to pass several consuls so the first thing you [would] do is go to the passport consul and say 'Listen, this is what is happening to me', and the police will react - so I don't think they were forced." 'Not typical' Dr Jennifer Fleetwood, criminology lecturer at the University of Leicester, who has carried out research into the involvement of women in the international drugs trade, said their experience did not appear to be typical. "We know that most drug mules are male - women represent about 20% but that does not mean that their story is not plausible... anyone who researches this [issue] finds people who have been coerced," she told BBC Radio 4's Today Programme. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-23737272
So, the Oirish burd's family has sent over a lawyer? This lawyer is taking money from the family for a free holiday. He will come back achieving the square root of **** all and a nice tan. Where, then, is the shame?
It's true now as it was waaay back then Dan, no **** will admit their guilt, certainly not to their own families. Crime is a myth because no one is committing any, they'd be as well closing down the Police and the courts.

Some people can turn sanctimony into an art form “I came home because I thought I was being pushed out my own apartment because of all of this. It’s been a rollercoaster for me. I just don’t know what to do any more. “But I bet Melissa is sitting there thinking that she wishes she had listened to me now."
Sung at the Stranraer - Rangers match Two girls had a dream But it wasn't as smart as it seemed Now they have no money, no coke, not even a gram They're stuck in a cell They'll both rot in hell So **** you Michaela and your suitcase as well.
So you and the Rangers support have now decided she is after all ...guilty? It's amazing what an Irish passport can do to change people's opinions.
