Kate Moss has been attacked by the Columbian vice-president for worsening the country's drug problems by glamorising cocaine use.

Francisco Santos is stunned that the supermodel's earnings and fame have increased since she was exposed as a former cocaine user.

The politician insists Moss - who is dating drug addled rocker Pete Doherty - should have at least apologised for her actions and the misery she, and other users of the highly addictive drug, have caused in the South American country.

Speaking at the launch of the Cocaine Curse initiative in London yesterday (02.11.06), Santos said: "It's baffling that someone who helps cause so much pain in Columbia is doing better than ever, winning even more contracts. I never once heard her say, 'I'm sorry', when in our country people die every day because of cocaine consumption. That hurts."

It is estimated that around 3,000 people in Columbia are killed annually by rival drug gang wars.

Santos insists every person who takes cocaine further worsens the drug trafficking problems in Columbia.

He added: "We need to tell Europeans that the line of coke they snort is tainted with blood."
