A FORMER porn star and football WAG has been jailed for almost three years after shocking texts revealed how she trafficked 14lbs of coke into Spain.
Mia Etcheverria was one of five seized at Carrasco International Airport, in the Uruguayan capital Montevideo.
The adult actress, and ex-wife of Uruguayan football star Richard ‘Chengue’ Morales, 48, was nabbed by cops on June 24.
While the gang of five made their way through the airport, police carried out a routine check on one of the men.
Officers found his two suitcases had hidden compartments containing six slabs of cocaine with a staggering total weight 14lbs 5oz.
Cops then pulled over the rest of the group, including three women aged 26, 27, and 36, and a 35-year-old man.

Etcheverria initially denied having any knowledge of the drug plot but confessed later during a plea-bargaining deal, according to local reports.
Police then found Telegram messages while investigating the WAG’s mobile phone where she was seen giving other gang members tips on how to avoid being caught.
She told them: “It is your attitude that will determine your trip, you understand? Travel listening to music.”
Etcheverria added: “When you get off the plane, take photos (but do not upload anything) until you reach your destination. As touristy as possible, trust me.”

Her lawyer, Pablo Casas, claimed at the time of the group’s bust that his client “was unaware of the contents of the suitcases”.
The ex-porn star – real name Camila Navarro – was one of the main stars on the Uruguayan adult channel Divas TV.
She shares two daughters with Morales, who made 27 appearances for Uruguay between 2001 and 2005.
The footie ace played for Osasuna and Malaga during his club career.
Morales paid all her legal fees during the trial and said in a statement: “Nowadays, more than ever, my only priority is my daughters and their well-being, and I will protect them from any media exposure related to this issue.
“I understand that we are both public figures in different contexts, but I consider it unnecessary to constantly refer to me and my daughters.”
She has been jailed for two years and seven months after previously facing 18 years in jail for the offense.
