REIV President Leah Calnan has condemned the actions of a former member of the REIV who recently pleaded guilty to two counts of trafficking cocaine.

Kristiana Karakostas (pictured) faced the Melbourne County Court last week over drug trafficking charges, where she pleaded guilty. She will be sentenced later this month.

In light of the guilty plea, the REIV has quickly terminated membership of Ms Karakostas.

REIV President Leah Calnan said, “the REIV does not tolerate illegal or unethical behaviour; drugs create so much pain and suffering in our community.” 

“The REIV has acted swiftly in terminating the membership of Ms Karakostas and revoking the Novice Auctioneer of the Year Award which she won in 2019, she added.
