VIENTIANE, Nov 27 (Loatian Times): The self-described CEO of a cosmetics company came forward Thursday evening to maintain her innocence amid claims on social media that she may have been identified as the mysterious woman behind a drug trafficking scandal.

Rumors surfaced after a petrol tanker from Laos was seized this week by Thai police at the Lao-Thai Friendship Bridge carrying an enormous amount of drugs. The truck driver confessed to authorities that a woman from Bolikhamxay Province had paid him THB 50,000 to transport the load.
