But the extent of drug trafficking goes far beyond cannabis. As the Federal Ministry of Interior reported, the authorities secured over 137 kilograms of cocaine with a street sale of around 14 million euros. The drug discovery was carried out as part of a cross -border investigation in which a container from Bolivia was targeted. Obskure transport methods meant that the cocaine in wooden floorboards was hidden, which only drawn attention to the poison after elaborate X -ray analysis. When the suspects are arrested in Vienna, a cocaine laboratory was also discovered and further 2.5 kilograms of cocaine were confiscated.

The investigation also provided indications that the criminals are said to have introduced up to 800 kilograms of cocaine to Austria. With numerous international cooperation and the support of customs authorities, an impressive success against drug trafficking was achieved. Nine accused have already been caught, including Serbian and Austrian citizens who were largely involved in the organization process. Further arrests will be expected in the coming time, while the investigation into the back men is in full swing.
