A blonde Love Island contestant dubbed “Barbie” is starting a 14-year stretch behind bars for helping a major international crime cartel flood UK streets with illegal drugs.
Prosecutors said Magdalena Sadlo, 30, acted as the business brain for top table crooks based in the Middle East, painstakingly prepared criminal accounts.
Gang members in Dubai — where Sadlo worked legitimately in hospitality — masterminded a conspiracy to ship enormous sums of cocaine into the UK which a judge described as “eye-opening”.
Well qualified Sadlo — who featured in Love Island’s Polish version during 2021 — was drafted in to help, prosecutor Tim Evans told Carlisle Crown Court, engaging in multi-faceted illegal activity.
As a criminal courier, Sadlo repeatedly collected vast quantities of cocaine as it was imported into the port of Harwich.
