Beat against drug mafia: raid in NRW and Europe!

Beat against drug mafia: raid in NRW and Europe!

In a comprehensive campaign that started early in the morning, almost 400 officers from the Essen customs investigation office searched for various locations in Germany and in neighboring countries. This is done on behalf of the Duisburg public prosecutor and is part of a large -scale investigation against an international drug group.

The raids focus on 40 objects in North Rhine-Westphalia as well as in Belgium, the Netherlands and Spain. The investigators have suspected that the group of perpetrators was particularly guilty of illegal import and the trade in narcotics, partly in the one to three-digit kilogram range. The drugs that are targeted by the authorities include amphetamine, marijuana, hashish, cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy. There are also signs of possible illegal weapons shops, which makes the offense more serious.

cooperation between the authorities

The large-scale operation shows the impressive cooperation between various customs and police authorities and international partners. In total, officials from several countries were involved, including special forces of the federal police and the state police in North Rhine -Westphalia. This measure is not only a blow to drug trafficking, but also underlines the commitment of the authorities in the fight against complex, cross -border crime.

How the investigation continues is still open because the authorities emphasize that no further information can be published due to the ongoing measures. The dimension of international drug trade and the potential connections to other criminal activities make it clear how important such operations are for public security. The investigators hope not only to account for the responsible persons, but also to prevent future criminal activities.
