To answer your question, no...at least not the way the press has represented it. What IS true is this:

British and French women arrested on cocaine-trafficking charges

A British woman and a French woman have been arrested on drug trafficking charges in Brazil after authorities found 44 pounds of cocaine in their luggage as they tried to catch a flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, police said today.

Cecilia Maximilia, a 36-year-old Briton, and 20-year-old Jennifer Salagnac of France were arrested yesterday after authorities using baggage x-ray machines detected the cocaine wrapped in grease-lined packages inside false bottoms installed in their luggage, said federal police inspector Mauro Montenegro.

Police suspect the drugs were packaged in grease in an attempt to thwart detection at Tom Jobim International Airport, Montenegro said.


Maximilia told authorities she is a dancer and Salagnac said she is a beautician. Montenegro did not know their hometowns.

Both were jailed, and will remain incarcerated until a judge decides whether they should be tried on international drug-trafficking charges or deported.

If convicted in Brazil, the maximum penalty is 20 years in prison.

Cocaine is not produced in Brazil, but the country is a major transit point for drug shipments to Europe.

this is a pic of cecilia maximilia..



In previous threads where this has been discussed, even hardcore fans have no idea who these women are, so I think it's safe to say if these women were involved with Prince at all at some time in the past it was tangental at best. It looks like some reporter wanted to give a who-gives-a-crap story more "zip" by linking it to a celebrity. It's not The Twinz or even Diamond and Pearl, so relax.
