Cocaine no longer for jet-set noses

In Germany, 2017 was the year of cocaine.

The South American cocaine producers and international smuggling gangs flooded Europe with drugs this year, often of high quality. 'It seems that the perpetrators had the motto: supply creates demand,' said Christian Hoppe of the BKA drug control service. He expects consumption in Germany to rise.

The customs officer Hamburg, René Matschke, agrees with him. Due to the enormous influx of coke, the price has dropped to around 50 euros per gram. It is therefore no longer something for 'jet-set noses. 'Matschke's service achieved the largest catches in Hamburg and Bremerhaven. 'Large quantities come once per container. '
