Brit who snorted cocaine off Pablo Escobar's grave jailed for 50 years for drug smuggling

A Brit who once snorted cocaine off the grave of Pablo Escobar and vowed "never to return" to Colombia after angering local cartels has been jailed for drug dealing.

Steven Semmens and four fellow cocaine conspirators have been sentenced to a total of more than 52 years in prison at Swansea Crown Court for their parts in peddling the Class A drug, reports WalesOnline.

On a trip to the South American country in 2018, Semmens was filmed spilling cocaine on the gravestone of Escobar and he said that he carried out the stunt for a bet and did not think things would go as far as they did.
