(CNN) An Australian woman has been sentenced to death by hanging after a Malaysian court overturned an earlier acquittal of drug smuggling charges. 
  
 A three-judge panel unanimously threw out the previous ruling in 54-year-old Maria Elvira Pinto Exposto's case, her lawyers told CNN. 
  
 "An appeal will be filed in the Federal Court -- the final appeal," lawyer Muhamed Shafee said, who added his client was "a strong person." 
  
 The grandmother and mother of four was arrested in December 2014 while transiting through the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur on a flight from Shanghai to Melbourne. 
  
 She was found in possession of 1.1 kilos (2.4 lb) of crystal methamphetamine and faced a mandatory death penalty under Malaysia's draconian drugs laws.

 A SYDNEY grandmother has been sentenced to death by hanging in Malaysia after an appeal court unanimously overturned her earlier acquittal on drug smuggling charges. 
  
 Maria Elvira Pinto Exposto, 54, from Cabramatta West, was today found guilty by three judges in the Court of Appeal. 
  
 The mother of four was caught with 1.5kg of crystal methamphetamine, also known as ice, at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on December 7, 2014. 
  
 “We find the merits of the appeal, we allow the appeal and set aside the judgment of the judge and find her guilty as convicted. The only sentence under law is death by hanging,” the judges found. 
  
 Court of Appeal judge Mohtarudin Baki, told Ms Exposto: “The only sentence under the law is death by hanging. You have another round of appeal and we wish you luck.” 
  
 Ms Exposto’s lawyer Shafee Abdullah today told the court her client would exercise her right for a further appeal. 
  
 “You will win and you will walk away,” Ms Abdullah told Ms Exposto. 
  
 The court has previously heard Ms Exposto fell victim to an internet romance scam and that she was tricked into believing she was in Shanghai to lodge documents for her online boyfriend’s retirement from service in the US army. 
  
 The man apparently identified himself as “Captain Daniel Smith,” and claimed to be a US soldier stationed in Afghanistan. Ms Exposto testified a friend of Mr “Smith” asked her to take the black backpack to Melbourne from Shanghai as a last minute request at the airport. 
  
 She claimed she thought there were only clothes inside. 
  
 Kuala Lumpur Airport customs officers discovered the drugs stitched into the lining of a backpack after noticing an existence of something “green” during scans of her luggage. 
  
 The search by Customs officials was voluntary at the time and Mrs Exposto opted to give her bags up for a search. 
  
 When officials looked closer, they noticed the stitching inside did not match that of the backpack and when they ripped it open, they found grey packages inside, customs official Mohd Noor Nashariq told the Shah Alam High Court last year. 
  
 Mrs Exposto was married at the time but her relationship with her husband was getting “a bit sour” when her online boyfriend asked her to marry him in September 2013. 
  
 Malaysia is amending laws that no longer bind judges to hand down mandatory death sentences for drug mules. But that law has not yet been gazetted. 
  
 The mandatory sentence is death by hanging for anyone found guilty of carrying more than 50 grams of an illegal drug. When the drugs were found in 2014 she reportedly said she had “never seen drugs in her life”. 
  
 In 1986, Kevin Barlow and Brian Chambers were hanged after being found guilty of trafficking heroin. 
  
 They were the first Westerners to be executed under the country’s renowned anti-drug laws which were introduced in 1983. ||||| PUTRAJAYA: An Australian grandmother who claims she was tricked into smuggling drugs into the country after falling for an online romance scam was today sentenced to death. 
  
 This follows the Court of Appeal ruling which allowed the government’s appeal to overturn the decision of the trial court last year. 
  
 “We find there is merit in the appeal and set aside the acquittal. You are convicted and will suffer death by hanging,” said Justice Mohtaruddin Baki who chaired a three-man bench. 
  
 He told Maria Elvira Pinto Exposto that she had one more round of appeal in the Federal Court. 
  
 “I wish you good luck,” he said in giving the unanimous ruling. Also on the bench were Abdul Karim Abdul Jalil and Rhodzariah Bujang. 
  
 The 55-year-old was calm and composed when the verdict was delivered after a brief recess. 
  
 The prosecution maintained she was guilty of the crime due to “wilful blindness”. 
  
 “The accused closed an eye to the truth as she should have checked what was in the bag,” government lawyer Muhammad Azmi Mashud told reporters. 
  
 Also appearing for the government was Mohd Zain Ibrahim while lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah represented Exposto. 
  
 She was arrested in December 2014 at Kuala Lumpur airport with 1.1kg of crystal methamphetamine stitched into the lining of a bag given to her by a man in Shanghai. 
  
 Exposto maintains she did not know about the hidden stash of “ice”. She said she had been fooled into carrying the bag after travelling to China to see someone she met online called “Captain Daniel Smith”, who had claimed to be a US serviceman. 
  
 Under the Dangerous Drugs Act, anyone caught with at least 50g of crystal meth is considered a trafficker and is subject to the death penalty. 
  
 In December, trial judge Ghazali Cha, in his verdict at the High Court in Shah Alam, accepted the defence’s argument that Exposto did not know the bag contained drugs and found her not guilty. 
  
 “I agree with the defence lawyer that the accused did not have knowledge about the drugs,” he said, adding she was innocent. 
  
 After engaging in a long online romance, Exposto had travelled to Shanghai to see “Smith”. 
  
 But she did not succeed in meeting her supposed love interest while there and ended up being given a bag by a stranger, who asked her to take it to Melbourne. 
  
 When she arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport to change flights, she mistakenly went through immigration as she was unfamiliar with the airport. 
  
 She voluntarily offered her bags for customs inspection and the drugs were discovered. 
  
 Two Australians were hanged in Malaysia in 1986 for heroin trafficking – the first Westerners to be executed in the country – in a case that strained relations between the two countries.

 'Feelings of love' 
  
 Exposto was arrested in December 2014 while transiting through Kuala Lumpur en route from Shanghai to Melbourne. 
  
 After three years in prison, she was found not guilty of drug trafficking in December 2017, with the court accepting her argument that she had been unaware of the presence of drugs in her luggage. 
  
 According to her lawyer, she had fallen for an online romance scam and had been tricked into carrying the drugs. 
  
 The judge had called her "naive", but added that her "feelings of love...[had] overcome everything." 
  
 She was then released on bail but had to stay in the country as prosecutors appealed against the verdict. 
  
 Exposto was sentenced to death on Tuesday after a panel of three judges threw out her previous ruling. 
  
 However, she does have the right of appeal.

A 54-year-old Australian grandmother who was acquitted of drug trafficking charges in December has just seen the tables turn. The ruling was overturned on appeal, and a Malaysian court on Tuesday sentenced her to death, with the head of a three-judge panel saying "you are convicted and will suffer death by hanging," reports Free Malaysia Today. Maria Elvira Pinto Exposto was returning home from Shanghai when she was found with 2.4 pounds of meth at a Kuala Lumpur airport in 2014. She maintained that she was scammed by an online paramour who called himself "Captain Daniel Smith" and dispatched her to China to file papers related to his retirement from the US army. She says she was given a backpack by a friend of his at the Shanghai airport and that she believed it contained clothes, reports news.au.com. The Australian describes her as being allegedly "groomed" by Smith over two years. The court bought that story the first time, with the judge calling her "naive." Prosecutors appealed; she will now do the same. "An appeal will be filed in the Federal Court—the final appeal," her lawyer said per CNN. The BBC notes three Australians have been executed in Malaysia for drug crimes. All were men, and the last was put to death in 1993.
