Magdalena Kralka, 30, one of Europe’s most wanted female crime bosses, has been sentenced to 3.5 years in prison after six years on the run.
Kralka rose through the ranks of a notorious Polish drug cartel after her gang leader boyfriend was shot dead by police. By 2018, she was running the gang’s financial operations, smuggling over 65kg of cocaine and cannabis across Europe and laundering money.
She also recruited gang members and protected fugitives, particularly in violent football hooligan groups. However, after a 2019 police raid, she fled and remained in hiding for six years before being captured in Slovakia.
Interpol had placed Kralka on their Red List of “most wanted” criminals, making her one of the most notorious female fugitives in Europe.
Now behind bars, Kralka’s criminal empire has finally collapsed.
