LADY SINGS THE BLUES –
Feb. 28, 2025 – To outsiders, Tania Gomez was the glamorous 33-year-old owner of a dog rescue centre in Stockholm, who had moved to Lanzarote for a quieter life. Now, after four years on the run, she has been captured, and is facing extradition back to her homeland on suspicion of drug trafficking and money laundering. If convicted, she faces a potential prison sentence of 14 years.
Charges were brought against Gomez in 2021, after a huge drugs bust led Swedish prosecutors to accuse her of smuggling consignments of cannabis into Sweden as well as handling large amounts of cocaine. In May 2020, she allegedly received 10 kilograms of cocaine in the Stockholm area, transported it to her home, where the drug was examined and tested, before being sold on.
