Ticketless and with 282 pills: 24-year-old arrested in Magdeburg

Magdeburg, Deutschland - On Friday, October 11, 2024, an incident on the train between Leipzig and Magdeburg caused a sensation when the federal police were asked for help with the identity determination of a man. The 24-year-old traveler was on the road without a valid ticket and could not prove his personal details. At 6:53 p.m. the train arrived at Magdeburg Central Station, where a police patrol was already waiting for him.

The man who comes from Morocco refused to hand over an ID document. Nevertheless, the officials managed to determine his identity with the help of a police information system. During a search of his body, the police found several packs of prescription medication in his pocket.

The officials took the man to the federal police office. His suitcase was searched there, and it turned out that he had a total of 282 units of prescription medication. It was particularly worrying that the recommended maximum daily dose for these medication is only two units. If he used it beyond the recommended dose, the 24-year-old could suffer from an overdose.

In the past, the man had noticed for violations of the Medicinal Products Act, which continued to complain about the situation. For this reason, the police turned to the responsible prosecutor, who immediately ordered the medication to confiscate. The case has legal consequences for the man, who now has to expect criminal charges due to the increase in services and violations of the Medicines Act and the Residence Act.

The federal police not only guaranteed the security of passengers on the train through their quick action, but also prevented potential health risks. The incident raises questions about controlling travel without ticket and handling prescription medication, which could perhaps also be relevant in other contexts.
