He has no fixed address, but wanted to get into the drug trade. A homeless man from Linz (29) offered a kilo of cocaine to an interested party. He wanted 45,000 euros for it. However, the deal did not materialize because the police had something against it.
The detectives of the State Criminal Investigation Department of Upper Austria (drug crime) had been investigating the 29-year-old homeless man from Linz since May. The Croatian citizen offered another person a kilo of cocaine for sale for 45,000 euros and sold five grams of cocaine as a sample.
Arrested in October
The 29-year-old was subsequently arrested in October 2024 by narcotics investigators together with the Task Force for Combating Street Crime (EGS) on behalf of the Linz Public Prosecutor’s Office. When he was arrested, it turned out that the man had a professional small ‘cocaine press’. Further investigation revealed that the suspect had not only cocaine with him, but also marijuana, which he had delivered monthly from Germany and sold at a profit in the Linz area.
Theft instead of sale
The suspect, who is in custody in Linz, has so far made little confession about the charges. However, he said he only offered his major buyer a small quantity of cocaine to steal from him during a planned prepayment without delivering the goods.
