Police have arrested a 29-year-old former beauty queen wanted for stealing £1.4 million worth of liquor. The accused female dacoit was absconding for the last 9 months. The name of former Mexican beauty queen accused of stealing liquor worth crores of rupees inside a luxurious hotel priscilla lara guevara (Priscila Lara Guevara). The former beauty queen was accompanied by her partner, 47-year-old Romanian-Dutch origin. Konstantin Dumitru (Constantin Dumitru) has also been arrested.
Police say that the two together committed a robbery at the Triple Michelin Starred Atrio Hotel in Caceres, western Spain, about nine months ago. In that incident of theft, both had made liquor worth crores of rupees disappear from the hotel. Then the hotel administration had told the estimated cost of the stolen liquor to be 1.4 million pounds. Both the accused were arrested and presented in the court. The court sent both of them to jail.
Based on the sensational facts revealed in the investigation conducted immediately after the incident, the Spanish authorities then said that the planning of the liquor had been going on for several months before the incident was executed. In that high-profile incident of wine theft, 1806 wine bottles were included only of famous brands like Chateau d’Yquem, which were then worth 3 lakh 11000 pounds. In order to carry out that audacious incident of liquor theft inside the Hifi Hotel, 29-year-old Guevara, a former beauty queen and the mastermind of the incident, prepared a fake passport of her own.
With the help of the same fake passport, she was able to check-in at the hotel with an empty bag. This high-profile pair of thieves had dinner at the hotel’s restaurant on the night of the incident. During the same time both took the test of 14 types of liquor. Both of them had done this work before sleeping. While visiting the wine cellar before going to bed, both of them had fixed the target as to which of the expensive wines they had to get their hands on.
At the time of the incident, about 40,000 bottles of the world’s most expensive wine were decorated in that wine cellar. Around 2.10 pm, both of them had called someone from the hotel reception on the pretext of ordering salad. That act of both of them late in the night created doubt in the mind of the hotel staff about both of them. Still, on the insistence of both of them, the duty concierge finally got ready to prepare and give them salad. As soon as the hotel worker left the spot for 20 minutes to make the salad.
The former beauty queen and her male companion got their hands on the opportunity. It is a different matter that unfortunately, at that time, both of them had the wrong key of the hotel’s liquor godown. The key was in the hands of the main conspirator, Konstantin Dumitru, a former beauty queen’s partner. The court was told that Guevara then ordered a pudding, and Dumitru returned to the cellar with another key. He filled 45 expensive bottles of liquor in three bags from the liquor godown.
The prosecution said in the court, “The defendants left the hotel at around 5 am. He had two heavy bags full of heavy liquor. The towels present in the hotel bathroom were stuffed between the bottles of liquor inside the bag. So that there is no sound of colliding liquor bottles. Nor can the bottles of liquor stuffed in the bag collide with each other and break. At present, after that incident, both the absconding accused were arrested in Croatia. At the time of their arrest, both were trying to cross the border in Montenegro. After their arrest there, both were extradited.
The court also ordered him to pay damages to insurers in excess of £667,000 in damages to compensate for the stolen wine. While the stolen liquor could not be traced even after the arrest of both of them. How did these two manage to take so many expensive bottles of liquor safely from the hotel? This question also remains a mystery till now. Shortly after the theft, Hotel Atrio co-owner Jose Polo and his business partner Tony Perez made a statement in the past, in which they said, “They (the former beauty queen and her con-male accomplice) stole part of our heritage have taken. They have stolen that part of our history which we have cherished with great difficulty and hard work.
Hotel owner-business partner Jose Polo further added, “More than stealing liquor from inside the hotel, it is like they (thieves) forced us,” Mirror reported. First they (thieves) hugged us and then beat us. We feel very sad. The worst part is that they have not stolen the money, they have not even stolen the goods. They have separated our history from our hearts.
