Cocaine process in Tyrol: Croatian confesses drug trafficking and receives prison sentence!

In a dramatic procedure at the Innsbruck Regional Court, a 34-year-old Croatian confessed to smuggled 29 kilos of cocaine from his homeland to Tyrol on Monday. Due to his criminal record, it had an unconditional prison sentence of 4.5 years. The accused, who had already been convicted of small amounts of cocaine in 2014, had made a comprehensive confession during the investigation. His defense lawyer noticed that such a detailed confession of life in his career has so far been unique. Over the past four years, he and his five accomplices, who also targeted the public prosecutor's office, had brought large quantities of drugs to the Tyrolean region around Kufstein, including about 25 kilos of cannabis herb. Despite the use of so-called "crypto cell phones" for camouflage, their criminal activities did not remain undetected.

Just a day later, on Tuesday, a 31-year-old Croatian at the Klagenfurt regional court was sentenced to five years in prison because he was also involved in drug sales. He had offered several kilograms of drugs to a hidden investigator. The investigation revealed that he acted on behalf of an international drug gang. As part of a film tire, he met the investigator at a petrol station, he suspected that he was observed. The investigator reported a highly professional dealer group that acted extremely carefully and changed the place of handover several times at the meeting. The accused denied being a high -ranking member of this gang, but admitted the sale of 250 grams of cocaine.

The covert investigator's statement also revealed that the Serbian mafia was involved in the shop, whereby betrayal could be punished with death. The judge asked the accused questions about found cash amounts and milk sugar, which are often used as extensions. He tried to reduce his role in the drug gang, which was vehemently refuted by prosecutor Daniela Zupanc. She described the group as highly professional and internationally active and emphasized the central role of the defendant within the hierarchy, which contradicts the impression that he was only a "bouncer", as his defender represented, as already The crown reported .

These two cases show how serious the drug problem is in Austria. They illustrate the sophistication and professionalism with which drug dealers act and the difficulties of stopping this crime, as well as
