Cocaine Cassie reveals big wedding surprise to Insta fans

Just months after announcing her engagement in Colombia, convicted Adelaide drug trafficker Cassie Sainsbury has revealed the next step on social media.

Just months after confirming her engagement, it seems Cassandra Sainsbury- best known as “Cocaine Cassie” has tied the knot with her Colombian fiancé.

Sainsbury took to social media on Saturday to post a loved up snap of herself and her bride, known only as Tatiana, with the hashtag “Just Married”.

Last November, Sainsbury was spotted wandering through Bogata’s up-market wedding district of Cundinamarca, ahead of her nuptials to the 33-year old IT technician taking her time as she stopped to admire sparkling gemstone-encrusted necklaces, diamond bracelets and pearls.

It is a fairytale ending for the young woman who not long ago faced more than 20-years in a ­Colombian prison after she was caught with 5.8kg of cocaine hidden in her luggage while trying to leave the country in April, 2017.

Sainsbury was released from prison in 2020, after serving just three years of her six-year sentence having secured a plea deal, the former personal trainer has been forbidden from leaving Colombia until her ­sentence expires.

It’s believed that she and Tatiana were introduced through mutual friends in early 2021 before announcing their engagement last November.

While no official wedding photos have been released as yet, friends said last year that Sainsbury had her heart set on a “traditional, white wedding dress”.

Sainsbury’s mother, Lisa Evans, has supported her daughter throughout her ordeal, flying to ­Colombia from the family’s Adelaide home during her legal proceedings.

Sainsbury initially claimed she did not know the drugs were in her luggage and that the 18 sets of headphones in her bag were gifts for her bridal party ahead of her upcoming wedding to then fiance, Scott Broadbridge.

She said she was not aware the headphones had been stuffed with cocaine. However, Sainsbury’s story later altered to reveal she had been forced into being a drug mule by a mystery man who made threats to kill Mr Broadbridge and her family.
