SEPANG: Police are denying a fake news report that says Pia Wurtzbach, Miss Universe 2016 from the Philippines, has been arrested in Malaysia for attempting to smuggle drugs into the country.
Sepang OCPD Asst Comm Abdul Aziz Ali said there was no truth to the report being widely spread on the Internet.
"She has not been arrested. Its a fake news report," he said when contacted Sunday.
An article on a news portal had been widely shared on social media, which claimed that the Pinoy beauty was arrested at KLIA for trying to smuggle 10kg of cocaine hidden in two coffee bags into the country.
