Drug smuggling in Tyrol: Court sentenced dealers to 4.5 years in prison!

A sensational process at the Innsbruck regional court once again brings drug crime in Tyrol in public light. On Monday, a 34-year-old Croatian was convicted, who had smuggled over 25 kilograms of cocaine and around 29 kilograms of cannabis from the Balkans to Tyrol, which, according to the court, was a massive risk to the population. The investigation against the drug gang began after several suspects were arrested in Kufstein. When searching for their smartphones, the investigators initially met with no relevant data, but thanks to the discovery of a hidden operating system, the chats of the drug dealers could be uncovered, such as tirol.orf.at reported .

The accused, who, after his arrest in Kufstein, revealed comprehensive information about his accomplice, ultimately received a prison sentence of four years and six months. Although the penal system provides for up to fifteen years, the prosecutor decided to make a milder judgment due to his willingness to cooperate. However, such allies not only legally, but also personally harm him - after his detention, there were threats against his family, which now leaves Tyrol. In addition, the man has an estimated 100,000 euros in drug debts, which also burdens his situation.
