Lime on the abyss: drug war and chaos in the Cologne district!

In the Kalk district of Cologne, there is an alarm mood: crime shoots up, and drug trafficking is blooming thanks to organized criminal structures in the region. Claudia Valter, a policewoman who wants to remain anonymous, warns: "The situation there is catastrophic, there is a risk of overturning a whole district", so the Police Cologne , the Kalker Hauptstraße is also under constant observation by video cameras to prevent drug trafficking.

The police emphasize clear steps to combat crime; 163 people and several cafés were recently checked in a strong deployment. Although the investigative authorities know the big players of the scene, the question of control over this crisis situation remains unanswered. Violence goes hand in hand with drug culture, as an example documented by murder cases among rival gang members who are not unusual in the area. Cologne criminal chief Michael Esser admits: "The situation is difficult", but you work on targeted missions against the drug scene.
