Lawyers for Bella Culley negotiating plea agreement, court reportedly told

The pregnant British teenager Bella Culley has reportedly been told she will be released from the Georgian prison where she is being held on drug-smuggling charges if she pays a substantial fine.

Culley, from Billingham, on Teesside, has been detained in the former Soviet country for more than three months after being accused of trying to bring in 14kg of cannabis in a travel bag. She has been told she faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
