Accused drug smuggler Cassandra Sainsbury faces six years in a Colombian prison, after reportedly striking a plea bargain with prosecutors.
Ms Sainsbury, 22, was arrested at Bogota's international Airport in April, after allegedly attempting to smuggle 5.8 kilograms of cocaine hidden inside 18 separate packages of headphones.
The plea deal has reportedly been agreed to by both the prosecution and the defence, after it was put to Judge Sergio Leon in a closed court room today.
According to Nine News, the deal still needs to be signed off on by Mr Leon, who will return on November 1 to make his final decision.
Ms Sainsbury, originally from Adelaide, has been held in Bogota's El Buen Pastor women's prison since her arrest.
It is not Ms Sainsbury's first plea bargain to come before the court.
An earlier deal was thrown into jeopardy after Ms Sainsbury told the court at a hearing on July 26 that she had only agreed to smuggle 5.8kg of cocaine after her family had been threatened.
