Conductor de camión sentenciado por contrabando de cocaína en un envío de Skims

Un tribunal británico ha condenado a un conductor de camión a 13 años y medio de prisión tras ser sorprendido contrabandeando cocaína valorada en 9,4 millones de dólares, la cual estaba oculta en un envío legítimo de ropa de la marca Skims.

Jakub Jan Konkel, de 40 años, fue interceptado por agentes fronterizos en un puerto de Essex en septiembre mientras conducía un camión que transportaba 28 palés de ropa interior y prendas de vestir de Skims desde los Países Bajos. Las autoridades descubrieron 90 kilogramos de cocaína escondidos en un compartimento especialmente adaptado en las puertas traseras del vehículo. El envío en sí era legítimo, y ni el exportador ni el importador tenían relación alguna con las drogas.
