Facing a $500,000 fine each, Khalifa broke down in court, pleading innocence and claiming she’d never even smoked a cigarette, insisting her faith and upbringing made drug money unnecessary. The arrests in 2025 led to the seizure of over 750kg of synthetic narcotics. While nine others received life sentences and seven were acquitted, Khalifa’s fate remains uncertain as appeals are possible — though it’s unclear if she’ll pursue them.
