Multiple independent sources (The Standard, South China Morning Post, and other web results) confirm a truck driver was jailed for smuggling cocaine hidden in a shipment of Skims clothing. While the dollar value varies slightly across sources (£7m to £7.2m), the core fact of the sentencing and the brand involved is consistent.

The identity of the driver (Jakub Jan Konkel, 40), the cargo (28 pallets of Skims clothing), the origin (Netherlands), and the location/time of the stop (Essex port in September) are consistently reported across multiple sources.

The South China Morning Post and other web results confirm Konkel collected 90kg of cocaine, which is equivalent to approximately 198 pounds.

Web search results specifically mention a 'concealed compartment built into the lining of the trailer' or 'compartment of the truck's back doors' used to hide the drugs. The detail about 2.2-pound packages is consistent with the total weight of 90kg divided into smaller units.

Multiple sources, including the NY Post, IBTimes UK, and the National Crime Agency (NCA), explicitly state that the Skims shipment was legitimate and that the exporter and importer were not connected to the smuggling operation.

The South China Morning Post and other web results confirm Konkel agreed to transport the drugs for €4,500, which is converted to approximately $5,243.

Multiple independent sources (South China Morning Post, The Standard, and others) confirm that Jakub Jan Konkel was sentenced to 13.5 years in prison at Chelmsford Crown Court.
