Drug raid in Berlin: 30-year-old in court after cannabis trade!
The Berlin public prosecutor has charged a 30-year-old man who is charged with a small amount for commercial trade in narcotics. The man has been in custody since May 14, 2025. He is accused of selling a total of 56 kilograms of cannabis and 1 kilogram of cocaine between the end of March and early June 2020. The drug trafficking took place, especially in Berlin districts such as Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf, Reinickendorf and Marzahn-Hellersdorf, the perpetrators handed over conspiratories to changing places such as a parking space of a hardware store on Kurt-Schumacher-Platz and near the Deutsche Oper underground station. The turnover from these transactions is estimated at at least 62,900 euros, whereby the security authorities were communicated, which was considered to be particularly secure by Encryptic Messer Service, the Berliner Public prosecutor's office.
In the context of further investigations against drug trafficking in Berlin, three men were arrested on Thursday last week, who also exchanged information about drug transactions about Encrochat. Around 180 police officers searched 13 objects in different parts of the city, including Charlottenburg and Gesundbrunnen. Two men aged 25 and 46 were arrested due to arrest warrants, while a 43-year-old was temporarily taken into custody. During the searches, the officials secured 2 kilograms of cocaine, 23 kilograms of amphetamine, marijuana, as well as three sharp firearms and almost 200 rounds of ammunition, such as [rbb24] (https://www.rbb24.de/panorama/bagrag/2024/berlin-polizei-schafungen-drogenhandel-lauble- uhaft) reported.
drug trafficking and organized crime
The investigation into organized crime in drug trafficking, based on the knowledge from the Encrochate, turned out to be extremely extensive and significant. The hack of the crypted communication platform is a great success against organized crime in Europe, in which over 20 million secret chat messages were skimmed off. In Germany, this led to more than 1,700 arrests, but according to experts, there are concerns about the long -term nature of this success of the investigation. A drug dealer expressed concerns about their own crime: If the hack had not existed, a different way might have been taken, according to [https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/encrochmittlungen-drogenhandel-100.html).
Drug crime in cities such as Hamburg and Berlin remains at a high level despite the arrests. Interior Minister Nancy Faeser expressed optimism in combating organized crime in 2022, but the reality shows that new players are violently fighting for their place in drug trafficking. In Hamburg, the authorities confirm new distribution struggles, while the crime statistics in Berlin in 2023 registered a maximum of the use of firearms. An illegal weapon dealer also reports on increasing demand for weapons within drug crime, which also exacerbates the situation.
Regardless of these developments, experts such as Jan Reinecke, the state chairman of the Federation of German Criminal Office, warn of stagnation in the persecution of organized crime. The policeman sums up that the war against drug trafficking cannot be won and suggests the introduction of an anti-Mafia law. However, the Federal Ministry of the Interior shows concerns whether such a law can be implemented under constitutional law. The challenges in drug crime still seem to be alarming and complex, while state measures are put to the test against these structures.
