Lastbilschaufför dömd för kokainsmuggling i Skims-sändning

En brittisk domstol har dömt en lastbilschaufför till 13 och ett halvt års fängelse efter att han ertappats med att smuggla kokain värt 9,4 miljoner dollar gömt i en legitim sändning av Skims-kläder.

Jakub Jan Konkel, 40, stoppades av gränspolisen vid en hamn i Essex i september när han körde en lastbil med 28 pallar underkläder och kläder från Skims som kom från Nederländerna. Myndigheterna upptäckte 90 kilo kokain gömt i ett specialanpassat utrymme i lastbilens bakdörrar. Själva sändningen var legitim, och varken exportören eller importören hade någon koppling till drogerna.
