Successful attack on the online drug scene in Vienna. After extensive investigation, the police were able to arrest three suspects. The value of the seized drugs, which would be sold via the Internet, is no less than 600,000 euros.
Investigations into suspected drug trafficking on the Internet were conducted from April by officers of the Schwechat city police command. First, the officials tracked down the 32-year-old main suspect from Vienna-Währing. As of July 2021, he is alleged to have extensively exploited drug trafficking through various social media platforms.
Successful house search
The payment was always made anonymously in cryptocurrencies, the Lower Austria State Police Headquarters said on Friday. During a search of an apartment in the federal capital, 35 kilograms of drugs were seized, such as cannabis products, including high concentrations of THC liquid and magic mushrooms.
Five digit euro amount in cryptocurrency
A high five-digit euro amount of cryptocurrency was also discovered. The 32-year-old and a 26-year-old from Vienna were arrested in an apartment in Hernals. The youngster confessed to packing and preparing drugs for sale on behalf of the prime suspect. Finally, on July 11, another accomplice – also a 32-year-old Viennese – was taken into custody.
He and the 26-year-old allegedly received money for processing drug orders. The trio was taken to Vienna-Josefstadt prison.
