The 21-year-old professional model from the Czech Republic was arrested at Allama Iqbal International Airport.
In March 2015 authorities, acting on a tip-off, arrested Pakistani model Ayyan Ali at the VIP lounge of Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad on money laundering charges before she could board a flight to Dubai.
It is pertinent to that under Pakistani laws, a citizen is barred to carry over $10,000 on a flight. However, the authorities had found $506,800 tucked in her luggage.
She was released on bail in July 2016 and her lawyer claimed she had no intention to take money outside Pakistan.
