A model accused of trying to smuggle almost 9kg of heroin to Ireland has appeared in a Pakistani court weeping.

Tereza Hluskova, 22, from the Czech Republic, was arrested in Lahore airport in January after $1.9m worth of drugs were found hidden inside statues in her luggage.

In her latest court appearance, Hluskova burst into tears after she was told her trial was being adjourned again, The Sun reports.

The model has been held on bail while her trial has been repeatedly adjourned.

Hluskova has previously expressed her hopes that the case would be decided before Christmas so she could celebrate with her family at home, Pakistan’s English language newspaper The Nation reports.

However, it may be many years before the model returns home.

Hluskova is facing up to 10 years in prison if found guilty. If she had been found with more than 10kg, she would have been facing the death penalty.

The model had said she travelled to Pakistan for a modelling job and had no idea who put the statues with the drugs in her suitcase.

Authorities allege Hluskova had met a Pakistani man in Manchester, and he had set up a fake photography studio.

A customs spokesman told local media: “Once he told Hluskova to visit Pakistan for modelling to promote products of a leading fashion brand, she accepted the offer on the promise of handsome payment.

“She came to Pakistan and resided in Gujranwala for a few days before coming to Lahore airport to fly for Abu Dhabi with the heroin bag given to her.”

In a video published online by local media, customs officials can be seen finding the statues in her suitcase as Hluskova looks on.

Hluskova later tells the camera: “They gave me something for luggage, three statues or something. They said it was gifts. I didn’t know there was something inside,” Hluskova later tells the camera.
