Kim Kardashian's shapewear label has reportedly found itself at the centre of attention after authorities uncovered cocaine valued at nearly $9.3 million hidden inside a truck transporting the company’s products. The unexpected major drug seizure has grabbed the attention online, leading SKIMS to issue a public clarification.
What's the case?
As per reports, the case came to the spotlight after officials confirmed that the vehicle carrying legitimate SKIMS merchandise had allegedly been used as part of a cocaine smuggling operation. However, it has been stated that the company itself was not connected to it.
A 40-year-old Polish truck driver, Jakub Jan Konkel, was reportedly intercepted by Border Force officers at the Port of Harwich in Essex while transporting 28 pallets of SKIMS underwear and apparel from the Netherlands into the United Kingdom. Officials later discovered a concealed compartment built into the rear doors of the truck.

Officials alleged that Konkel had made an unreported stop during the journey to collect the drugs before attempting to transport them across the border. The National Crime Agency further stated that the driver later admitted he had agreed to move the shipment in exchange for a payment of 4,500 euros.
SKIMS issues statement
Shortly after the matter grabbed headlines, Kardashian's fashion label issued a public clarification distancing itself from the operation. As per TMZ, the company said, "SKIMS is aware of the recent news involving a shipment with our products. We want to be absolutely clear: SKIMS had no knowledge whatsoever about this criminal activity. We had no connection to the smuggling operation, the driver, or the truck."
According to reports, authorities have also confirmed that the clothing shipment itself was legitimate and that neither the exporter nor importer associated with the SKIMS products was suspected of involvement in the case.
