Drug ring Coco-Taxi smashed in Vienna-six arrests!
Wien, Österreich - in Vienna, the police smashed an extensive drug ring under the name "Coco-Taxi", which has been active since 2019 and provided cocaine to customers with the help of taxis. The investigation showed that the dealers operated with two taxis used to transport the drugs and their customers. The taxis back seat became the crime scene, where the deal was handled while driving. The taxi drivers received tips against an allowance to keep their silence, such as Volksblatt reported.
With intensive investigations, the police, supported by the special unit Wega, were able to arrest six suspects, including two Austrian taxi drivers aged 46 and 58 as well as a 36-year-old Egyptian and three Nigerians aged 35 to 47 years. In the time of work, they are said to have sold at least 3.6 kilograms of cocaine. During the arrests, 1.4 kilograms of cocaine and a four-digit sum in scene-typical scope were also ensured, such as OE24 reported.detailed investigations and arrests
The drug dealers' procedure was surprisingly simple at first glance: customers ordered a taxi and immediately received the dealer in the vehicle. The ride served as an alibi for the perpetrators, while the drug transactions took place under the protection of the moving taxis. The first arrests fell in June, followed by further arrests in September. The last suspect was only caught on December 6th, which illustrates the comprehensive and structured way of investigation. After the arrest, the taxis used were secured and the suspects were brought to a prison, where some of them have already been sentenced to prison.
