This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Maria Krol is a Dutch businesswoman who was acquitted of capital drug trafficking charges in Singapore.
While purportedly working for a Nigerian drug trafficking organization via a front company, Krol was subsequently arrested in possession of over 2 kilograms of high-quality heroin during a Central Narcotics Bureau raid on her hotel room in Singapore. Krol vehemently protested her innocence, and after after a 29 day trial she was acquitted of all charges and released from custody. She thus became the first defendant in Singaporean legal history to escape the death penalty for possession of a capital amount of illegal narcotics with intent to traffick.[1]
