Bella Culley to Serve Two Years in Jail
Bella Culley, a 19-year-old British woman, has accepted a plea agreement with Georgian prosecutors and will receive a two-year prison sentence. She was arrested in Georgia after 11kg of cannabis and over 400g of hashish were found in her luggage.
Culley, who is 25 weeks pregnant, will be officially sentenced next week. Her family, including her mother Lyanne Kennedy, a charity worker, and her father Niel Culley, an oil rig technician, have paid 500,000 Georgian Lari (£138,000) to the court.
Bella Culley's case has drawn attention due to her pregnancy and the significant amount of drugs involved.
Culley appeared in court dressed in a grey sleeveless cardigan and a pink T-shirt, displaying a new hairstyle, and looked taken aback as the agreement details were read out.
