When her drug gang boss boyfriend was cut down in a hail of police bullets, blond bombshell Magdalena Kralka turned to a life of crime.

Her meteoric rise up the criminal food chain eventually made the 30-year-old beauty Europe’s most wanted female crime boss. After six years on the run, Kralka was arrested.
Cops had described the Krakow native as being “highly dangerous.”
And now she has been jailed for three and a half years on drug trafficking and money laundering convictions.
Kralka was in a Warsaw courtroom on Monday with 10 other members of her drug-trafficking ring for sentencing.
Media reports say her first step on the crime ladder was as a soccer hooligan, bashing heads with fans of rival teams.
“The group also committed acts against life and health, often using dangerous tools such as knives and machetes,” prosecutors said. “In this way, they attacked hooligans of one of the Krakow and Lodz football clubs.”
The prosecution added: “Their activity was characterized by a high degree of organization and service subordination.”
When boyfriend Adrian Zielona was killed, her criminality became hard-wired.
Soccer hooliganism led to drug trafficking, money laundering and other nefarious crimes. Kralka quickly climbed the underworld ladder until reaching the summit in 2018.
Her quantum leap came after other gangsters in her mob were arrested. Police sources said Kralka had an uncanny acumen for the gang’s financial operations.
Cops say her first objective was to smuggle more than 65 kilos of cocaine across Europe. She was also accused of protecting and hiding other gangsters who were on the run, even as she recruited new mobsters for her Borgata.
But the shelf life of most mob bosses has a best-before date and Kralka was no different. As cops closed in, she went on the lam in 2019.
Police spokesman Katarzyna Cisło said: “The woman could be hiding outside of Poland. She may not even be in Europe but anywhere in the world. This is why the European Arrest Warrant and Interpol red note have been issued for her arrest.”
For six years, she continued to be her crime organization’s puppet master, evading the cops. She was finally arrested in Slovakia.
But on Monday, investigators were left scratching their heads following her light sentence which also included a $10,000 fine. Bizarrely, the judges ruled that despite participating in the group’s criminal activities, Kralka was not actually in a management position.
The judges said Kralka was just following orders from the crime group’s previous chieftain, known in the media as Mariusz Z. He was jailed for 10 years and fined $42,000.
But the sexy scofflaw still has her fans, with a Facebook page entitled FREE MAGDALENA KRALKA boasting thousands of members.
