Shattered Albanian drug ring in Vienna: ten arrests!

Wien-Josefstadt, Österreich - The police's eyes were aimed at an Albanian addictive ring ring that has been active in the Vienna area since summer 2020. Now the ring is finally smashed according to Krone . A total of ten suspects were arrested in Austria and Germany in a large -scale commitment that was under the leadership of the Lower Austria State Criminal Police Office.

The balance of the operation is terrifying: 9 kg cocaine, 64 kg cannabis cabbage and cash of 44,265 euros could be ensured. Seven of the suspects are now in custody in the Vienna-Josefstadt prison. Among the arrested are nine male Albanian citizens and a Slovakian.

The network of the drug ring

The main suspect is a 32-year-old Albanian from the Gänserndorf district. His role in the organization was decisive because he had most of the business in mind. But his uncle, a 48-year-old man from Duisburg, also had a significant influence and acted as the client. The gang should report according to SN at least 32 kg of cocaine and 65 kg cannabis cabbage.

The exchange of drugs and money could not have worked without a sophisticated network. Two so -called smugglers and three street sellers who were responsible for the drug distribution were also arrested.

Limitation in Austria and Germany

The common missions took place on May 26th and 28th at various locations in Austria and Germany. The police showed that it has a sharp view of criminal structures. A suspect who was arrested in Germany is currently in extradition custody, while two more have to expect criminal proceedings in Germany.

The dimensions of the drug activities of the ring show how high the pressure on the security authorities is to stop such activities. ORF Niederösterreich emphasizes that the total value of drug sales is estimated at an impressive 2.5 million euros. This not only proves the danger of the ring, but also the massive financial interests of the masterminds behind the scenes.

Overall, the case shows how important it is to consistently act against such criminal structures. The police's missions demonstrate that you are able to combat the drug problem with combined forces. The judiciary and the investigative authorities remain in close cooperation in order to finally smash such gangs and to protect the public.
