The Pizzeria Was Selling Drugs: According to reports from "Bild," informed customers ordered the special "number 40" from the menu to receive a pizza along with cocaine. "It was one of the best-selling pizzas," said Chief Criminal Officer Michael Graf von Moltke. Meanwhile, journalists from the Stern portal pointed out that the pizzeria advertised itself with the slogan "We deliver everything." "The investigators now understand what that meant," wrote Stern.
The Arrest of the Pizzeria Owner: German police went to the apartment of the 36-year-old owner to arrest him. However, upon seeing the officers, the man reportedly tried to escape and threw a bag of drugs out the window. "It landed right in the arms of the police officers," recounted a police spokesperson. In total, 1.6 kilograms of cocaine, 400 grams of cannabis, and €268,000 in cash were seized.
Massive German Police Operation: Last week, 150 officers from Düsseldorf searched apartments in several large cities in North Rhine-Westphalia. As a result, illegal cannabis plantations were discovered. During the operation, weapons, cash, and expensive watches were confiscated.
The Danger of Drugs: According to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA), there has been an increase in the supply of cocaine in Europe over the last decade, along with related problems. Among them is addiction, which poses a significant challenge for therapists and doctors due to the negative effects of using psychoactive substances.
