Supreme Court upholds 15 years jail term for Yuyee
The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the verdict of an earlier court hearing, sentencing a popular model to 15 years and three months in jail for smuggling cocaine into the country in 2012.
The Court found Chatchaya Ramos or Yuyee guilty of having in her possession 251 milligrams of cocaine when she was searched at Don Muang Airport on November 10, 2012. The drug was concealed in her suitcase.
The Criminal Court initially gave her a 20-year jail sentence but later commuted it to 15 years and three months after she gave useful information in the investigation. She was also fined Bt1.5 million.
Yuyee was denied bail from both Courts and has already been detained for three years.
