An unexpected turn of events has led to the indictment of a former beauty queen from Indiana on charges related to aiding Mexican drug traffickers in moving substantial amounts of cash. Glenda Zapata, who once held the title of Miss Indiana Latina in 2011, now finds herself facing serious allegations.
The indictment, issued last Friday, alleges that Zapata utilized her position as a flight attendant and her crew member badge to facilitate the transfer of $310,000 in cash for a drug cartel operating in the southern United States and Mexico. Additionally, her sister, Elena Zapata, who was employed at a bank in Lafayette, Indiana, along with another bank employee, are accused of participating in the laundering of drug money by exchanging large bills for smaller denominations.
