A British court sentenced truck driver Jakub Jan Konkel, 40, to 13½ years in prison after he was caught smuggling ≈ 90 kg (≈ 198 lb) of cocaine, valued at about £7 million (US $9.4 million), hidden inside a legitimate shipment of Skims underwear and clothing – the shapewear brand founded by Kim Kardashian. The National Crime Agency said Konkel was transporting 28 pallets from the Netherlands when border officials stopped his vehicle at a port in Essex in September; the drugs were concealed in a specially adapted compartment behind the truck’s rear doors and packaged in 1‑kg bundles. Konkel initially denied knowledge of the narcotics but later admitted he agreed to move the load for a €4,500 payment. The NCA noted that neither the exporter nor the importer were linked to the illegal cargo and highlighted the case as an example of organised crime using corrupt drivers to hide Class A drugs in otherwise legitimate deliveries.
