Vienna State Criminal Police arrest three suspects following cocaine deal
As 5min.at reports, the Vienna State Criminal Police (Northern Office) has been investigating three men with criminal records, aged 30, 31 and 32, since March 2025. The suspicion: cross-border drug trafficking in cocaine, which is alleged to have been sold on profitably in Vienna.
Following a lengthy period of time-consuming investigative measures, officers from "Central Surveillance" eventually directly observed a drug transaction. In the process, one kilogramme of cocaine worth €28,000 is alleged to have changed hands. Immediately after the handover, a 31-year-old Turkish national was arrested. Subsequently, investigators arrested two alleged accomplices – a 30-year-old and a 32-year-old Austrian.
During subsequent house searches, police seized a total of approximately 33 grammes of cocaine, 5.9 grammes of cannabis resin and 5.9 grammes of cannabis plant material. Additionally, cash totalling approximately €10,000, a category B firearm and two high-value vehicles were seized.
All three suspects refused to confess during their questioning. On the orders of the Vienna Public Prosecutor's Office, they were remanded in custody.
