British Teen Bella Culley Found in Georgian Prison
18-year-old Bella Culley, who went missing in Thailand, has been located in a Georgian prison with a significant amount of drugs in her possession.
Disappearance and Discovery
Bella Culley left for the Philippines after Easter with a friend, then continued her journey to Thailand alone on May 3. Her sudden disappearance and lack of contact raised concerns, leading her family to report her missing.
Drug Charges and Family's Claims
Despite her family's insistence that Bella was set up, local media reported her arrest at the airport in Tbilisi with a substantial amount of cannabis and hashish. The possession could result in a 20-year prison sentence.
Legal Proceedings and Family's Concerns
Bella appeared in a local court this week, choosing to remain silent. Her family, including her grandfather William Culley, expressed disbelief in her involvement in drug smuggling and emphasized the need for answers regarding the circumstances.
As Bella awaits her legal process in a Georgian prison, concerns arise due to the country's prison conditions and reputation.
