Miss Italia beauty queen, Samantha Scarlino, who was a finalist in the beauty competition in 1999 was arrested at a Milan hotel, accused of offences related to the importation of 500 kg of the Class A drug.
Prosecutors believe the cocaine seized was destined for Italy, Belgium, Holland, Spain and France.
The 32-year-old is accused of transporting several deliveries of cash from Italy to gang bosses in Peru to be handed on the drug cartels. A 60-year-old kingpin from Milan is now wanted by police.

Miss Scarlino was a finalist in the 1999 Miss Italia competition aged just 17. The pageant contestant, who is well known in her home region of Puglia as a TV showgirl and film actress, was one of 22 arrested in connection with the ring. Charges include drug trafficking, and production.
Guess she didn't land a rich guy and a beauty title doesn't pay the bills.
