Shocking drug control
Meanwhile, the night before, a 32-year-old car driver was noticed and was also checked in Salzburg. The driver, an Italian, immediately aroused the officers' suspicions because of the strong smell of cannabis in his vehicle. A medical officer confirmed that he was impaired by drugs, which led to the immediate suspension of his driving license. In this case too, a report will be filed the Salzburg police said.
