Former Miss Dubai Contestant Faces 20 Years In Jail After Cocaine Bust

According to a report, authorities discovered the model in possession of more than half a kg of mephedrone, which may lead to a two-decade sentence.

Dukhina owns a modeling business in Crimea, which was taken by Vladimir Putin's Russian soldiers in 2014, taking the territory away from Ukraine.

The mother-of-two is being investigated for allegedly preparing the illegal drug for sale.

She has since removed herself from social media, cutting her online presence short and leaving a brief statement to her supporters before disappearing.

She posted: "I am leaving social networks. I will take only loved ones to my sterile empty room of a new life."

Dukhina's departure from social media is a long cry from her previous popularity and celebrity as a beauty contest contestant.

Black Sea Models, her modeling agency, was founded by her.

"I did not expect to receive such a prestigious international title. Of course, I was always confident in myself and my beauty."

"Like athletes, those who have not aspired to become an Olympic champion since childhood are unlikely to win. After all, standing with a victorious cup under the flag of your country is sports happiness! Models should also have sports anger," she said.

"It allows you to use your merits in the social sphere and public life, to involve people who can and want to help those who need this help in children's and family projects for charitable purposes. And, as I said, this is a steel tempering of character," Dukhina added.

"The lack of complete understanding, I have inside, while there somewhere, to whom it is not clear, I prove something that has nothing to do with a PURE and HAPPY, CONSCIOUS life... walked and hurt many without even noticing. Boomerang is back!!! And I THANK GOD for everything, this fate-judge broke me up so that the world did not turn over, but disappeared. Killed me. Clearly and forever. I realized that all the people around are temporary moments of emotions, no one cares about you!" it further continues.
