A glam narco suspect has gone viral for smugly grinning in her arrest video.
Tatiana Marset Alba is accused of being a close associate of her half-brother Sebastián Marset, a Uruguayan drug lord who has since been extradited to the US.
The DEA listed him among their most wanted fugitives.

His wife Gianina García Troche was arrested in Spain in 2024 and was extradited to Paraguay for money laundering.
Tatiana allegedly became a senior member of the criminal organisation after Gianina’s arrest.
According to reports, she has been involved in the gang’s criminal activity for several years.
Sebastián was arrested in a police operation, coordinated with international intelligence and the DEA, last Friday (13 Mar).
The suspected drug lord has been hiding out in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, since 2022.
He was detained at his home along with four others, including Tatiana.
Sebastián was flown to the US to face charges of money laundering and drug trafficking hours later, as reported by Need To Know.
State attorney general Róger Mariaca Montenegro said the other four detainees are being investigated for arms trafficking, criminal organisation, and criminal association after investigators found high-calibre weapons during raids on two properties.
They have been ordered to spend 190 days at the maximum-security Palmasol prison as the investigation continues.
Tatiana stole the headlines when the four detainees were presented at the pre-trial hearing the day after their arrest.
The 22-year-old appeared to grin throughout the legal procedure, drawing attention on social media.
One local said: “Beautiful but dangerous.”
“She’s smiling, but the sadness is evident in her eyes,” added Gerry.
Marianela remarked: “She’s very pretty, after this they might look for her to be a model.”
Unlike her half-brother, Tatiana and the other three suspects are expected to face trial in Bolivia.
The investigation is ongoing.
