Modou Adams, a popular Tiktok influencer from Britain, has recently been sentenced to six years in prison.
This verdict was delivered by a Peruvian court following his apprehension and subsequent search at Jorge Chavez International Airport on September 30, 2023.
During the search, authorities discovered a significant quantity of cocaine, approximately 2.9kg, cleverly concealed within a suitcase that was originally intended for transportation to Paris, with its final destination being London.
The illicit drugs, valued at an estimated £300,000, were seized by law enforcement officials, highlighting the severity of the offence committed by Adams. Acknowledging his involvement in drug trafficking, the 25-year-old Tiktok sensation pleaded guilty to the charges brought against him.
