Driver jailed for hiding cocaine in Kim Kardashian Skims delivery
A lorry driver who smuggled £7.2m of cocaine in a shipment of Kim Kardashian Skims clothing has been jailed for 13-and-a-half years.
Border officers found 90kg of the drug when they stopped Jakub Konkel's truck at Harwich International Port, Essex, on 4 September.
The 40-year-old had hidden the cocaine within a legitimate delivery of Skims products from the Netherlands and brought it to the UK for onward dealing.
Konkel, of Kartuzy in northern Poland, admitted smuggling the Class A drugs and wept in the dock as he was sentenced at Chelmsford Crown Court.
Judge Richard Wilkin said Konkel offered himself as a "willing driver" to collect the drugs from an industrial estate in Belgium.
Kim Kardashian's SKIMS Line Unknowingly Played a Role in $9.5 Million Drug Bust

A delivery driver in the United Kingdom was arrested and charged for smuggling more than £7 million (approximately $9.5 million) worth of cocaine in a truck carrying Kim Kardashian's clothing brand, the National Crime Agency confirmed in a May 18 press release.
Jakub Jan Konkel was stopped by Border Force officers in Essex in September while arriving on a ferry from the Netherlands. After 28 pallets of SKIMS products were x-rayed, authorities said the load was "entirely legitimate and neither the exporter nor importer were connected to the smuggled load."
