A Romanian woman was this morning unanimously acquitted of drug importation.

Adela Mariana Creta, 24, stood trial for drug importation. She kept insisting on Wednesday that she had no idea that her bag contained a kilo of heroin. All nine-members of the jury voted for her acquittal.

Ms Creta arrived by air from Brussels in August 2009 carrying a bag, which, she claimed, was given to her by her boyfriend.

According to the bill of indictment, the drugs were worth about €41,000.
