Wuppertal / Luxembourg (dpa / lnw) – drug investigators have intercepted a transport of 43 kilograms of marijuana from Spain to Germany. The public prosecutor’s office in Wuppertal announced on Wednesday that the specially converted transport vehicle was accessed by local special forces in Luxembourg in mid-May. Two suspects arrested in Luxembourg have already been transferred to Germany. The transfer of the third accused, who is in custody in Luxembourg, is expected soon.
According to the public prosecutor, the three suspects are suspected of having imported marijuana by the kilo from Spain via France, Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands to Germany. In Germany, immediately after the arrests, evidence was secured during searches in Wuppertal, Krefeld and Geldern (Kreis Kleve). Investigators tracked down the suspected drug gang by decrypting chat histories. The investigation has been going on for about a year.
