Melbourne,&#8221; promised Charlie. &#8220;Sort out your weekend properly.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1SzQc\">Unfortunately for Charlie, whose real name is Kristiana Karakostas, the code was cracked by Victoria Police in February 2017.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1SzQc\">Shortly after seeing the unconvincing advertisement, a covert police officer arranged to meet Karakostas at a petrol station in Mount Waverley, about 50 metres away from the real estate agency where she worked, to buy cocaine from her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1SzQc\">Karakostas pulled up in a white BMW and after doing the deal, she told the undercover officer that she had better &#8220;stuff&#8221; coming, which would cost $400.<\/p>\n<p class=\"_1SzQc\">Forensic analysis later showed she short-changed the officer by 0.1 gram.<\/p>\n<p>READ MORE VIA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2020-06-12\/former-real-estate-agent-kristiana-karakostas-sentenced-cocaine\/12347712\">ABC<\/a><\/p>\n<h3
