background of the arrests

The police have initiated an intensive surveillance and investigation process due to the collected information in connection with the addictive activity trade. These measures finally led to the arrests that aim to prevent illegal trade networks in the region. As the authorities say, one of the Moroccans, one of the main suspects, was imposed.

The other two suspects, on the other hand, were first displayed at large. However, it is reported that you will probably have to report to the investigative authorities again in the near future. At the same time, three additional suspects are still on the run, which makes the investigation further difficult. According to the police information, the officials have also created a list of people who are in connection with drug trafficking, and these are also pursued by criminal law.

This current development in the addictive trade in Innsbruck shows how seriously the authorities take the fight against drug trafficking, especially in urban areas, where the risk of younger sections of population is increased. Comprehensive measures are essential to contain such illegal activities and to grant public security.
