Drug raid in Zwickau: man with weapons and 7,000 euros drug value arrested

During a search in Mülsen near Zwickau last Wednesday, the police temporarily arrested a 41-year-old man. The measure aimed to ensure weapons, since the man had previously been withdrawn from gun law permission and the hunting license. During the search, the officials not only discovered weapons and ammunition, but also considerable amounts of narcotics, including 75 grams of crystal, 100 grams of hashish, 80 grams of marijuana as well as several ecstasy tablets and LSD trips. The total value of the seized drugs amounts to around 7,000 euros.

The 41-year-old was brought to prison after the arrest, and a judge issued an arrest warrant against him on Thursday. He now has to answer for a small amount of narcotics, whereby the possession of weapons additionally tightens the situation. In this campaign, several neglected dogs and cats were also secured and otherwise accommodated. A second person, a 49-year-old, appeared with an inadmissible vehicle at the scene and had no valid driving license. He received advertisements for driving without a license and a violation of the compulsory insurance law.

Legal consequences for drug trafficking

The legal consequences of drug trade are serious. In narcotics criminal law, sensitive punishments threaten not small quantities when trading drugs. According to Anwalt.de A prison sentence of up to five years can be imposed on drug trafficking with a weapon. The regulation of Section 30a (2) No. 2 BTMG even provides for a minimum prison sentence of five years for armed trading with narcotics.

A suspect that was taken up as part of a drug trade with a jumping knife offers an insight into the complexity of these legal matters. A judgment of the Federal Court of Justice emphasizes that also non -prohibited knives can be classified as weapons -like objects in drug trafficking, which significantly influences the criminal implications.
