Bella Culley, the great-granddaughter of a late Labour MP, has been detained in Georgia on suspicion of drug offences, facing up to 20 years in prison. Previously thought to be missing in Thailand, Culley was arrested in Tbilisi with significant quantities of narcotics, including marijuana and hashish. She is currently in pre-trial detention, with legal representation appointed, while the British Foreign Office supports her family. Her attorney describes her as a child, expressing concern for her mental state amid the serious charges against her.
âShe was so clenched, she is a child, in my personal opinion. When she was explained the essence of the accusation she was worried to speak.â
âThe Foreign Office confirmed it was supporting the family of a British woman who is detained in Georgia.â
âCulley is the great-granddaughter of Frank Cook, a Labour MP who represented Stockton North for 27 years.â
âGeorgian police said officers had seized up to 12kg of marijuana and just over 2kg of hashish in a travel bag at Tbilisi international airport.â
