Arrived at the airport, however, once at the controls, when the police asked her what was in her trolley, she realized that she could have anything and panicked: “I was a blonde girl with blue eyes in Morocco. I wore ripped jeans and wedge boots, with my hair down. I was really scared. I replied: ‘I don’t know, she’s not mine, I have no idea who she is’. I had been deceived, I was smuggling an illegal shipment ”.

Fortunately, she managed to convince the airport officials to let her go and return to Paris immediately, avoiding arrest. “That was the only job I found in Paris”, she concluded.
