Kate Szepanowski arrives to court as her boyfriend faces $124million cocaine charge

Glamorous Gold Coast influencer Kate Szepanowski looked unfazed as she arrived at the Brisbane Supreme Court on Wednesday to support her boyfriend Jordan Roman Brennan as he faced drug charges.

Brennan, 31, has been charged with two counts of attempted possession of a commercial quantity of cocaine.

Szepanowski, the older sister of fellow influencer Chloe Szepanowski, applied a bright red lip gloss for the cameras as she walked into the courtroom.

She looked very different from the images shared to her Instagram account almost a year ago, with her blonde hair now a dramatic dark brown shade.

She wore a modest green satin halter top with black trousers, black patent pumps and a black leather handbag.

Szepanowski, 29, has kept a low profile in recent months, appearing as a guest while her two sisters Chloe and Amy played the role of bridesmaids at their mother Sherree’s wedding earlier this month.

Wednesday’s hearing comes after Crown prosecutor Patrick Wilson told the Brisbane Supreme Court jury on Monday that two men sat in a van and cursed in frustration after allegedly being unable to find 48kg of cocaine hidden in a shipping container .

Jordan Roman Brennan and Brendan John Sipple allegedly searched the container on June 12, 2020, looking for 42 packages of cocaine hidden in the refrigeration unit.

“The defendants repeatedly traveled from the Gold Coast to the Port of Brisbane, often late at night, and spent significant amounts of time in the vicinity of where the container was located,” Wilson said.

Brennan and Sipple have both pleaded not guilty to attempting to possess a commercial quantity of unlawfully imported drugs.

Police devices attached to the suspect’s Hyundai iLoad van tracked their movements and recorded their conversations.

Mr Wilson said Brennan was recorded at 2.22am on June 11, 2020, talking to Sipple about searching a shipping container on a previous occasion.

“We had so many hours there that if we had the right tools from the beginning, brother, it was ours,” Brennan said.

Sipple then said, ‘That’s a great achievement, boy. A great, great achievement.’

Mr Wilson said dock workers in Belgium found the packages, which contained between 82 and 96 percent pure cocaine, in February and the drugs were seized by police.

The container arrived in Brisbane on June 6 under the supervision of Queensland and Federal Police.

Mr Wilson said the port’s wharf was full of many thousands of containers, but Brennan and Sipple were only interested in one.

“What is in dispute in this lawsuit is what Brennan and Sipple’s intent was when they entered the yard in the early hours of June 12,” Wilson said.

The listening device in the suspects’ van recorded their conversation after they left the courtyard.

“I’m really mad that you did these two to me and you have nothing to show for it. I want to make these damn assholes to give you something,” Brennan said.

Mr Wilson said Brennan’s DNA was later found on a glove left next to the container the defendants were looking for, and panels on the sides of the container had been removed.

Brennan’s lawyer Saul Holt told the jury it was clear his client had visited the shipyard for illegal purposes.

“This is not a moral court, it is a court of law. You are already rightly disgusted by the behavior Brennan has committed. You will hate the idea of ​​cocaine being imported into Australia and the damage it can cause,” Mr Holt said.

Mr Holt said Brennan did not access the container or attempt to extract cocaine and the jury would find this meant he was not guilty of the crime he was accused of.

Sipple’s attorney Josh Underwood said the trial was not about whether his client entered the yard or committed any other violation, but whether he had access to the shipping container.
