Convicted drug smuggler Cocaine Cassie Sainsbury reveals dramatic weight loss as she hints at new Adelaide business venture

Convicted international drug smuggler Cassie Sainsbury, nicknamed Cocaine Cassie, will release a fitness program following her dramatic weight loss.

Sainsbury shared the new venture on Friday alongside a selfie showing off her toned tummy on her Instagram.

She captioned the photo with “Sun-1 Cassie-0” after being sunburned.

In a separate post, Sainsbury said she’s dropped four dress sizes in five months by sticking to her “fitness program.”

“So since March this year, I’ve managed to drop four sizes,” she wrote.

‘In February/March I was a size 12, (I) gained weight due to some personal and health issues. These days I fit comfortably in a size 6/8.

“It took me a lot of hard work to do it and so I decided to create what I was doing into a fitness program.

“It’s called the hourglass challenge – for those ladies who want to achieve the hourglass look. It will be released soon.’

Sainsbury was a failed gym owner before being arrested in Columbia in April 2017 when she was caught trying to leave the country with 11 lbs (5.8 kg) of cocaine in her luggage.

The arrest brought her international infamy and earned her the nickname “Cocaine Cassie.”

She was sentenced to six years behind bars at Columbia’s notorious El Buen Pastor Prison, but only served three before being released.

The prison in the Colombian capital Bogota is known for its harsh conditions and overcrowding.

Sainsbury spent two more years on probation in South America before returning to Australia last year to live in Adelaide with her wife Tatiana.

The couple got married a year ago after meeting in a Colombian nightclub.

However, Sainsbury told the paper this Herald Sun in March, the move home was anything but easy.

“Trying to find a job and get ahead. I’m often told I’m a murderer, that I’m kind of underhanded and cold and show no remorse,” she said.

“People can’t show emotions because that’s a sign of weakness, so I buried the grief and I felt like I was pretty much at a point where it was going to explode. I’m not such a nasty person.’

She added that she unfortunately had no friends in Australia and that her family life was “bits and pieces.”

“What touched me was that friends wrote letters supporting me and then wrote nonsense about me on social media. It is what it is,” she said.
