Is the accused appearing in Court
in her pyjamas???

I'm trying to imagine the expression on the face of Judge.

I believe this is her travel ensemble for the flight from Thailand to Tiblisi.

"Is Bella May Culley really pregnant?​

Culley reportedly claimed she was pregnant in Tbilisi on Tuesday.
Georgian officials will now carry out a medical examination to assess the veracity of her claims.

Her lawyer said her client was pregnant,
before adding:
'This was her first time in the court and she was terrified and confused, kind of lost. Because of that we decided to exercise the right to remain silent'.

'In a few days,
after we’ve had consultations and discussions,
we’ll decide whether and how to adjust this position.

New lawyers, private ones,
both Georgian and British,
will soon be involved
and more details will be told'."

I'm guessing she thought the pregnancy line would send her straight home to mummy and daddy. Unfortunately for her, which as a wannabe nurse she should have known, it is very easy to prove one way or another. Urine, blood and ultrasound scans.

Wow!

Radio "Free Europe" is being involved now


"Todua told Radio Free Europe (RFE):

'When the accusation was presented,
given that it was a foreign environment for her,
it was her first time communicating with law enforcement officers,
we agreed on such a position
that she should exercise her right to remain silent
in order to develop herself.'

Huh?

'Law enforcement is expected to contact the suspect
'in a few days' in her detention jail'.

'If she wishes to cooperate with the investigation
in terms of providing certain information regarding the accusation,
this will be agreed upon later,'
reported RFE citing the lawyer."

Ummm...
If she wishes...

Why does DM write constantly about post-soviet country?

Times have changed.
Georgia's Independence was declared on April 9, 1991.

Georgia is a country that surprises and delights
It is a country situated at the foot of the mighty Caucasus Mountains.
It is a land of magnificent landscapes, delicious food and.... excellent wine!

Since 2014, Georgia has been an associated country of EU ,
and since 2016, it has been a member of the free trade area with the European Union.

She was missing, she's now located.
Reporting my own post. In my opinion there's no point in continuing this thread.

I disagree. She didn't come up with these drugs alone. I would like to see if she breaks some big drug ring or names people that she was with. IMO

I agree. This was part of a sting operation between countries. They are not revealing the country she departed from nor her ultimate destination

This is according to my husband, we live in Colombia.

Drug dealers take time organising their shipments. Typically they will have various mules arriving at a designated airport in flights arriving more or less at the same time, but from different destinations.

They will get someone to inform that a certain passenger is dodgy (having her details and even better if she is on tiktok whatever) and she becomes the mule thro stupidity and gets caught, whilst the bigger operation continues

Billingham is my hometown. I was born and raised there. If anyone needs any questions answered about Billingham, I'm probably your guy!

I haven't lived there for about a decade but have revisited regularly since then.

 

[bluestsocks]

Again, need the cynical font.

It's hard for me to belive she would be allowed in a care home with the long and cumbersome stilleto or coffin mancure styles she is showing in her TikTok stuff.

The UK has a massive, massive issue with lack of people willing to work in care settings of that nature in the past five years in particular. They can’t afford to be picky over manicures and shoes, or unfortunately qualifications.

She was hardly backpacking with 2 suitcases

I haven't really read the story of what she told the Georgian immigrant agents about her reason for visiting Georgia.

She doesn't really seem like the practical backpacker type, anyway. She seems like a traveler with lots of hair products, accessories, and shoes for multiple outfit selfies.

Backpacking? Doubt it, she'd go into a fit if she broke a nail, or came across a beetle I'd think.
Btw, was she really wearing that beach outfit on the plane to Georgia?

 

[Herat]

Oh, silly me.

She is the President of two Chinese window blinds companies in the UK.

Clearly they were looking at a new window blinds opportunity in Georgia and she had two cases full of window blinds samples.

I wonder if the companies are a front for potential income earned from the sale of drugs.

That and her dad living and working in Vietnam and her having visits to Thailand brings up some interesting triangulation.

Or maybe it means nothing at all.

She sure had a large amount of cash in £20 notes in one of her TikToks.

I watch To Catch a Smuggler enough to know all the crazy kinds of packaging that drugs are sent through the mail in, including commercial packages of materials where drugs are hidden inside. A lot of it comes in from China, probably to the UK as much to US, Australia, and New Zealand.

The UK company you were mentioning. The filing history is rather interesting. This is public information from the UK Comapnieshouse so we can link.

Look at the other companies linked to the previous dir from China, and their filing history.

ETA The many many companies behind another person linked to one of the companies were being dissolved massively in April 2025 same date. If you look further at all the companies and diramations you find ore and more companies for which:

There is a pattern of appointments/resignations, and either (recent) liquidations, or compulsory strike offs. For all of them.
Business classifications mostly packaging, transport.
This is the other company incorporated on 31 March 2025

I noticed one of the companies previously mentioned upthread had a registered office in Belfast.

It may be totally irrelevant but I always think Belfast is an interesting location for shady movements of “goods” (and sadly, people). It’s easy land access to southern Ireland and from there free movement into anywhere within the EU. And in reverse, of course.
