There have been significant developments concerning the case of Bella Culley, a 19-year-old student who was detained in Georgia earlier this year on drug trafficking charges.
In May, Bella Culley faced charges for drug trafficking after arriving at a Georgian airport. During her arrest on May 10 at Tbilisi International Airport, authorities accused her of attempting to smuggle substantial quantities of illegal substances hidden in her suitcase.
Upon inspection, law enforcement discovered 12kg (26lb) of marijuana and 2kg (4.4lb) of hashish in her luggage, leading to her ongoing detention since that date.
A conviction could have resulted in a 20-year prison sentence for Culley.
However, a recent plea agreement has altered the course of events, as reported by her legal representatives.
Malkhaz Salakaia, her attorney, revealed to the BBC that the 19-year-old is expected to be released from incarceration.
