Düsseldorf Pizzeria Drug Ring Dismantled by Police

Authorities in Germany uncovered a drug trafficking operation involving a Düsseldorf pizzeria that delivered cocaine alongside its 'pizza No. 40'. This scheme was first identified by food inspectors, prompting police to investigate and eventually raid the establishment. Upon the raid, the pizzeria manager, a 36-year-old, attempted to dispose of drugs by throwing them out of a window, but they landed in the hands of waiting officers. The operation led to the seizure of 1.6 kilograms of cocaine, cannabis, and €268,000, as well as the dismantling of a drug ring involving multiple suspects. Despite being temporarily released, the manager resumed operations, which allowed police to trace and dismantle the entire supply chain. In total, three main suspects were arrested, including a 22-year-old believed to be the head of the operation, along with raids on two cannabis plantations and several other suspects' homes and businesses.
