After sentencing, Paul Orchard, of the National Crime Agency, said: “Organised crime groups use corrupt drivers like Konkel to move Class A drugs often hidden on entirely legitimate loads such as this.
“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.”
The judge ordered the forfeiture and destruction of the drugs, Konkel’s truck and mobile phone, and said he would be deported after serving his sentence.
Kim Kardashian was contacted for comment.
