A Netflix reality star was caught trying to smuggle £150,000 worth of drugs into the UK.
Olga Bednarska, 27, was stopped by customs officers at Manchester Airport on a flight back from Thailand with two large suitcases containing 40kg of cannabis.
She was arrested and had been held in custody since her arrest in October.
According to The Sun, the Too Hot to Handle star claimed she was given the bags by a friend called ‘Tex’.
The influencer claimed this person paid for her flights and wanted her to bring back designer clothes and watches from Phuket.
A court heard that Bednarska had ‘lived beyond her means’ and accumulated £16,000 of debt.
To pay this off, she resorted to crime and agreed to to fly to Thailand on an all-expenses paid trip to import designer items out of the country in return for £18,000.
Bednarska cried in court as she was spared prison after pleading guilty to being concerned in the fraudulent evasion of a prohibition on the importation of a class B drug.
Instead, Judge John Potter handed her a 20 month sentence, which was suspended for two years.
