Appearing in court in Santiago, singer Martha Heredia, best known for winning the Latin American idol contest, revealed yesterday, Tuesday 22 October that a longstanding friend had put the drugs in her shoes, resulting in her arrest when she was trying to leave the country for New York from the Cibao International Airport.
Through her tears, Heredia said that she had been the victim of fraud, and asked that the press leave the court so that she could announce the name of the supposed drug dealer, but she could not mention it publicly for fear of her life.
