Colombian leader claims Moss helping Cocaine Flourish
London (ANI) -- Supermodel Kate Moss may have
bounced back with full vigour into the fashion world after her
abominable cocaine snorting stint, but Colombian vice-president
Francisco Santos is not ready to forgive her for the act.
Francisco Santos, who launched his cocaine curse campaign
criticised Kate and said that consumption of the drug in Europe
fuelled the finances of rebels in Colombia.
"To me it's baffling, that somebody who helps cause so much
pain in Colombia is doing better than ever and winning more
contracts than ever," he was quoted by the Telegraph, as saying.
"And I never once heard her say, 'I'm sorry'. When in Colombia,
policemen, judges, journalists, common men and women are
dying every day because of cocaine consumption, that hurts," he added.
Moss lost several contracts after she was photographed allegedly
taking cocaine. No criminal charges were brought against Moss
and she publicly "accepted responsibility" for the scandal.
She has since secured several lucrative contracts and has
been hired as a designer for Top Shop.
The logo of the Colombian campaign is: "Cocaine not only
destroys you, it also destroys a country". It is hoped that it
will raise awareness about the effects the narcotics trade is having
on Colombia as it enters its 44th year of civil conflict.
