This drug trafficker is not doing amazing, sweetie.
According to the U.K.’s National Crime Agency, Jakub Jan Konkel has been sentenced to 13 1/2 years in prison for smuggling over $9 million worth of cocaine in a truck carrying items from Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS clothing line.
The clothing shipment was legitimate, the NCA says. Konkel is thought to have loaded the cocaine onto the truck during an undeclared 16-minute stop that only he and his crime group had knowledge of.
“Organised crime groups use corrupt drivers like Konkel to move Class A drugs often hidden on entirely legitimate loads such as this,” says NCA operations manager Paul Orchard. “The detection and investigation have removed a significant amount of cocaine whose profits are lost to the crime group behind the smuggling attempt, and with Konkel they’ve lost an important enabler.”
