A Scots vice queen jailed in New York for running an elite prostitution network has launched an emotional bid to return home to see her dying mother.
Anna Gristina, from West Lothian, was convicted in 2012 but has since been fighting to get a passport so she can visit Scotland.
In an exclusive interview with the Sunday Mail from her American home, she told how it would allow her to see her elderly mum, who is terminally ill.
