Olga Bednarska fascinates 1,120,000 followers on Instagram with travel photos, images of her luxurious life and of course sexy poses in skimpy clothes. But not all that glitters is gold. To her life in Gucci, Prada & Co. In order to continue financing and get rid of her debts, Olga became a cannabis smuggler.
Influencer and reality show star Olga was caught with cannabis worth £157,600 (almost €190,000) during a flight from Phuket (Thailand) to Manchester, UK, in October.
The 27-year-old said she was asked by a friend named “Tex” to bring designer clothes and watches from the country. He also paid for her flight.
Medicines are flown out in vacuum packages
Customs officers at Manchester Airport stopped the Polish-born woman, who now lives in England, and searched her suitcases. And they found what they were looking for: almost 40 kilos of cannabis was vacuum-packed and hidden between articles of clothing.
Bednarska, who previously appeared in Netflix’s Too Hot to Handle, pleaded guilty in court to ‘involvement in the import of a class B drug’.
Debt as a motive for action
The reason for the smuggling: Olga lived beyond her means and also had debts of 16,000 pounds. She wanted to pay this off by importing drugs.
Influencer cried tears of joy
Bednarska used “desperate but highly illegal means,” said the judge responsible for Olga’s crime. He sentenced the woman to a suspended prison sentence of twenty months. According to the Manchester Evening News, the TV star is said to have cried in court with relief as she was unexpectedly spared jail.
